Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 284, here are decompositions:
- 3 + 281 = 284
- 7 + 277 = 284
- 13 + 271 = 284
- 43 + 241 = 284
- 61 + 223 = 284
- 73 + 211 = 284
- 103 + 181 = 284
- 127 + 157 = 284
Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.
