Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 1740, here are decompositions:
- 7 + 1733 = 1740
- 17 + 1723 = 1740
- 19 + 1721 = 1740
- 31 + 1709 = 1740
- 41 + 1699 = 1740
- 43 + 1697 = 1740
- 47 + 1693 = 1740
- 71 + 1669 = 1740
Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.
