Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 1280, here are decompositions:
- 3 + 1277 = 1280
- 31 + 1249 = 1280
- 43 + 1237 = 1280
- 67 + 1213 = 1280
- 79 + 1201 = 1280
- 109 + 1171 = 1280
- 127 + 1153 = 1280
- 151 + 1129 = 1280
Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.
