Abstract

A relationship is established between the factorization of $24 n + 1$ and the 5-divisibility of $Q(n)$ , where $Q(n)$ is the number of partitions of $n$ into distinct parts. As an application, an abundance of infinite families of congruences for $Q(n)$ modulo powers of 5 are explicitly exhibited.
