Number of Elements in Partition

Theorem
Let $S$ be a set.

Let there be a partition on $S$ of $n$ subsets, each of which has $m$ elements.

Then:
 * $\left|{S}\right| = n m$

Proof
Let the partition of $S$ be $S_1, S_2, \ldots, S_n$.

Then:
 * $\forall k \in \left[{1 \,.\,.\, n}\right]: \left|{S_k}\right| = m$

By Definition:Power of Element:


 * $\displaystyle \sum_{k \mathop = 1}^n \left|{S_k}\right| = n m$

and the result follows from the Fundamental Principle of Counting.
