Abstract
Ferrers diagrams are used to visually represent integer partitions. We describe a way to use Ferrers diagrams to uniquely represent integers in terms of their prime factors. This leads to a lower bound on the number of primes less than a given integer, namely where is the prime counting function and denotes the base 2 logarithm. This results in a new proof of the infinitude of primes.
