Also seen as
Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 738, here are decompositions:
- 5 + 733 = 738
- 11 + 727 = 738
- 19 + 719 = 738
- 29 + 709 = 738
- 37 + 701 = 738
- 47 + 691 = 738
- 61 + 677 = 738
- 79 + 659 = 738
Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.
