Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 578, here are decompositions:
- 7 + 571 = 578
- 31 + 547 = 578
- 37 + 541 = 578
- 79 + 499 = 578
- 139 + 439 = 578
- 157 + 421 = 578
- 181 + 397 = 578
- 199 + 379 = 578
Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.
