A number of linear congruences modulo r are proved for the number of partitions that are p ‐cores where p is prime, 5 ⩽ p ⩽ 23, and r is any prime divisor of ½( p − 1). Analogous results are derived for the number of irreducible p ‐modular representations of the symmetric group S n . The congruences are proved using the theory of modular forms.
