Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 3872, here are decompositions:
- 19 + 3853 = 3872
- 79 + 3793 = 3872
- 103 + 3769 = 3872
- 139 + 3733 = 3872
- 163 + 3709 = 3872
- 181 + 3691 = 3872
- 199 + 3673 = 3872
- 229 + 3643 = 3872
Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.
