Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 1540, here are decompositions:
- 17 + 1523 = 1540
- 29 + 1511 = 1540
- 41 + 1499 = 1540
- 47 + 1493 = 1540
- 53 + 1487 = 1540
- 59 + 1481 = 1540
- 89 + 1451 = 1540
- 101 + 1439 = 1540
Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.

The digit sequence 1540 first appears in π at position 21,836 of the decimal expansion (the 21,836ordinal-suffix:th digit after the integer 3).
Search range: the first 1,000,000 fractional digits of π. Any 6-digit-or-shorter string is virtually guaranteed to appear in there — the more interesting signal is the position.
