Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 1908, here are decompositions:
- 7 + 1901 = 1908
- 19 + 1889 = 1908
- 29 + 1879 = 1908
- 31 + 1877 = 1908
- 37 + 1871 = 1908
- 41 + 1867 = 1908
- 47 + 1861 = 1908
- 61 + 1847 = 1908
Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.
