Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 588, here are decompositions:
- 11 + 577 = 588
- 17 + 571 = 588
- 19 + 569 = 588
- 31 + 557 = 588
- 41 + 547 = 588
- 47 + 541 = 588
- 67 + 521 = 588
- 79 + 509 = 588
Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.
