Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 642, here are decompositions:
- 11 + 631 = 642
- 23 + 619 = 642
- 29 + 613 = 642
- 41 + 601 = 642
- 43 + 599 = 642
- 71 + 571 = 642
- 73 + 569 = 642
- 79 + 563 = 642
Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.
