Goldbach decomposition

Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 2972, here are decompositions:

  • 3 + 2969 = 2972
  • 19 + 2953 = 2972
  • 139 + 2833 = 2972
  • 181 + 2791 = 2972
  • 223 + 2749 = 2972
  • 241 + 2731 = 2972
  • 283 + 2689 = 2972
  • 313 + 2659 = 2972

Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.
