Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 1952, here are decompositions:
- 3 + 1949 = 1952
- 19 + 1933 = 1952
- 73 + 1879 = 1952
- 79 + 1873 = 1952
- 151 + 1801 = 1952
- 163 + 1789 = 1952
- 193 + 1759 = 1952
- 199 + 1753 = 1952
Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.
