Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 948, here are decompositions:
- 7 + 941 = 948
- 11 + 937 = 948
- 19 + 929 = 948
- 29 + 919 = 948
- 37 + 911 = 948
- 41 + 907 = 948
- 61 + 887 = 948
- 67 + 881 = 948
Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.
