Goldbach decomposition

Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 1556, here are decompositions:

3 + 1553 = 1556
7 + 1549 = 1556
13 + 1543 = 1556
67 + 1489 = 1556
73 + 1483 = 1556
97 + 1459 = 1556
103 + 1453 = 1556
109 + 1447 = 1556

Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.
