Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 678, here are decompositions:
- 5 + 673 = 678
- 17 + 661 = 678
- 19 + 659 = 678
- 31 + 647 = 678
- 37 + 641 = 678
- 47 + 631 = 678
- 59 + 619 = 678
- 61 + 617 = 678
Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.
