Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 1962, here are decompositions:
- 11 + 1951 = 1962
- 13 + 1949 = 1962
- 29 + 1933 = 1962
- 31 + 1931 = 1962
- 61 + 1901 = 1962
- 73 + 1889 = 1962
- 83 + 1879 = 1962
- 89 + 1873 = 1962
Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.
