Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 480, here are decompositions:
- 13 + 467 = 480
- 17 + 463 = 480
- 19 + 461 = 480
- 23 + 457 = 480
- 31 + 449 = 480
- 37 + 443 = 480
- 41 + 439 = 480
- 47 + 433 = 480
Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.
