Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 1940, here are decompositions:
- 7 + 1933 = 1940
- 61 + 1879 = 1940
- 67 + 1873 = 1940
- 73 + 1867 = 1940
- 79 + 1861 = 1940
- 109 + 1831 = 1940
- 139 + 1801 = 1940
- 151 + 1789 = 1940
Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.
