Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 720, here are decompositions:
- 11 + 709 = 720
- 19 + 701 = 720
- 29 + 691 = 720
- 37 + 683 = 720
- 43 + 677 = 720
- 47 + 673 = 720
- 59 + 661 = 720
- 61 + 659 = 720
Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.
