Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 1520, here are decompositions:
- 31 + 1489 = 1520
- 37 + 1483 = 1520
- 61 + 1459 = 1520
- 67 + 1453 = 1520
- 73 + 1447 = 1520
- 97 + 1423 = 1520
- 139 + 1381 = 1520
- 193 + 1327 = 1520
Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.
