Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 222, here are decompositions:
- 11 + 211 = 222
- 23 + 199 = 222
- 29 + 193 = 222
- 31 + 191 = 222
- 41 + 181 = 222
- 43 + 179 = 222
- 59 + 163 = 222
- 71 + 151 = 222
Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.
