Also seen as
Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 342, here are decompositions:
- 5 + 337 = 342
- 11 + 331 = 342
- 29 + 313 = 342
- 31 + 311 = 342
- 59 + 283 = 342
- 61 + 281 = 342
- 71 + 271 = 342
- 73 + 269 = 342
Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.
