Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 438, here are decompositions:
- 5 + 433 = 438
- 7 + 431 = 438
- 17 + 421 = 438
- 19 + 419 = 438
- 29 + 409 = 438
- 37 + 401 = 438
- 41 + 397 = 438
- 59 + 379 = 438
Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.
