Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 672, here are decompositions:
- 11 + 661 = 672
- 13 + 659 = 672
- 19 + 653 = 672
- 29 + 643 = 672
- 31 + 641 = 672
- 41 + 631 = 672
- 53 + 619 = 672
- 59 + 613 = 672
Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.
