Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 956, here are decompositions:
- 3 + 953 = 956
- 19 + 937 = 956
- 37 + 919 = 956
- 73 + 883 = 956
- 79 + 877 = 956
- 97 + 859 = 956
- 103 + 853 = 956
- 127 + 829 = 956
Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.
