Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 1720, here are decompositions:
- 11 + 1709 = 1720
- 23 + 1697 = 1720
- 53 + 1667 = 1720
- 83 + 1637 = 1720
- 101 + 1619 = 1720
- 107 + 1613 = 1720
- 113 + 1607 = 1720
- 137 + 1583 = 1720
Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.
