The number of partitions of n into parts divisible by a or b equals the number of partitions of n in which each part and each difference of two parts is expressible as a non-negative integer combination of a and b. This generalizes identities of MacMahon and Andrews. The analogous identities for three or more integers (in place of a, b) hold in certain cases.
