Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 1608, here are decompositions:
- 7 + 1601 = 1608
- 11 + 1597 = 1608
- 29 + 1579 = 1608
- 37 + 1571 = 1608
- 41 + 1567 = 1608
- 59 + 1549 = 1608
- 97 + 1511 = 1608
- 109 + 1499 = 1608
Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.
