Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 540, here are decompositions:
- 17 + 523 = 540
- 19 + 521 = 540
- 31 + 509 = 540
- 37 + 503 = 540
- 41 + 499 = 540
- 53 + 487 = 540
- 61 + 479 = 540
- 73 + 467 = 540
Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.
