Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 408, here are decompositions:
- 7 + 401 = 408
- 11 + 397 = 408
- 19 + 389 = 408
- 29 + 379 = 408
- 41 + 367 = 408
- 59 + 349 = 408
- 61 + 347 = 408
- 71 + 337 = 408
Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.
