A Note on the Factorization of Permutations into Cycles

We find conditions on k, n ∈ N, where 3 ≤ k ≤ n for which a permutation in Sn can be written as a product of distinct k-cycles in S n+i \Sn, for some i ∈ N. This result generalizes a problem that was solved in 2010 in an episode of the television show Futurama: the so-called Futurama Theorem.
