Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 360, here are decompositions:
- 7 + 353 = 360
- 11 + 349 = 360
- 13 + 347 = 360
- 23 + 337 = 360
- 29 + 331 = 360
- 43 + 317 = 360
- 47 + 313 = 360
- 53 + 307 = 360
Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.
