Goldbach decomposition

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.
