54) How many ways are there to distribute five indistinguishable objects into three indistinguishable boxes?

I made a table for the possible ways. Since they are indistinguishable, 5,0,0 is the same as 0,5,0 and 0,0,5.

5 0 0

4 1 0

3 1 1

3 2 0

2 2 1

These are the only possible ways to sort this. 5 ways.
