Reason: Initial publication. Counting principle for a partition into blocks of equal size, the counting step behind Lagrange's theorem.

Statement

Let XX be a set, let r,tNr,t\in\mathbb{N} be natural numbers, and let [r][r] be the initial segment determined by rr. Suppose that for each i[r]i\in[r] a subset BiXB_i\subseteq X is given such that:

  1. every xXx\in X lies in BiB_i for some i[r]i\in[r];
  2. BiBi=B_i\cap B_{i'}=\emptyset whenever i,i[r]i,i'\in[r] and iii\ne i';
  3. each BiB_i has tt elements.

Then XX has trt\cdot r elements.
