Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 15500, here are decompositions:
- 3 + 15497 = 15500
- 7 + 15493 = 15500
- 61 + 15439 = 15500
- 73 + 15427 = 15500
- 109 + 15391 = 15500
- 127 + 15373 = 15500
- 139 + 15361 = 15500
- 151 + 15349 = 15500
Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.
