random numbers with seed

Currently I'm developing a game using C# and Unity3d for my project at school

I'm trying to figure out how to generate random numbers based on a specific number. My Game Runs like this for example you were given a base number of "6", I need some tips on how to generate possible combination of numbers based on number "6" using addition for example it will generate numbers 2+2+2 = 6 or 1+1+4 = 6 or 3+3 = 6 and so on

Currently I am using this code to generate random number but i have no idea how to make it generate random number based on a seed 

randNumber = Mathf.RoundToInt(Random.Range(0.0f,8.0f));

need help thx in advance sorry just a newbie

Following is a pseudo code :-

randlist = []

int target = 5;

while(target > 0) {

 int rand = Random(1,target);
 target = target-rand;
 randlist.add(rand);
}

print randlist

Note:- Random(1,target) generates a random number between (1,target) both inclusive.

Randomly pick a number from 1 to the number, add it to a list, and then subtract the drawn number. Repeat until the number reaches 0. Here is an example: 

  static Random rand = new Random();

  private static List<int> GetRandomNums(int number)
  {
     List<int> list = new List<int>();
     while (number != 0)
     {
        int addend = rand.Next(1, number + 1);
        list.Add(addend);
        number -= addend;
     }
     return list;
  }
