Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 1496, here are decompositions:
- 3 + 1493 = 1496
- 7 + 1489 = 1496
- 13 + 1483 = 1496
- 37 + 1459 = 1496
- 43 + 1453 = 1496
- 67 + 1429 = 1496
- 73 + 1423 = 1496
- 97 + 1399 = 1496
Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.
