Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 312, here are decompositions:
- 5 + 307 = 312
- 19 + 293 = 312
- 29 + 283 = 312
- 31 + 281 = 312
- 41 + 271 = 312
- 43 + 269 = 312
- 61 + 251 = 312
- 71 + 241 = 312
Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.
