Each partition is to be packed from the highest term downward until the next term would exceed the number being partitioned, then that term is skipped, and the highest possible smaller terms are selected to make up the rest of the number being partitioned--which they do in patterned ways from number to adjacent number.

The principle of branch and bound algorithm is to partition the convex feasible region of the LP into convex subsets and a bound on the objective function is obtained for each subset in the partition.
An integer solution which is better than the bound of all subsets of the feasible region is the optimal integer solution.
If an integer solution is found the branching process is terminated otherwise, another integer variable with non-integer value is chosen and the partitioning is repeated until an integer solution is found.
