Also seen as
Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 288, here are decompositions:
- 5 + 283 = 288
- 7 + 281 = 288
- 11 + 277 = 288
- 17 + 271 = 288
- 19 + 269 = 288
- 31 + 257 = 288
- 37 + 251 = 288
- 47 + 241 = 288
Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.
