Also seen as
Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 868, here are decompositions:
- 5 + 863 = 868
- 11 + 857 = 868
- 29 + 839 = 868
- 41 + 827 = 868
- 47 + 821 = 868
- 59 + 809 = 868
- 71 + 797 = 868
- 107 + 761 = 868
Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.
