Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 1500, here are decompositions:
- 7 + 1493 = 1500
- 11 + 1489 = 1500
- 13 + 1487 = 1500
- 17 + 1483 = 1500
- 19 + 1481 = 1500
- 29 + 1471 = 1500
- 41 + 1459 = 1500
- 47 + 1453 = 1500
Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.
