Partitioning

Hello.

I'm looking for a ball-park order of magnitude for the number of ways that 70 can be expressed as the sum of 9 zero or positive integers, without the requirement that the individual values be unique (so 70 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 and 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 70 are both fine and count as two distinct solutions)

See Stars and bars (combinatorics). The value you're looking for then is

{\binom {70+9-1}{9-1}}={\binom {78}{8}}=23,446,881,315.
