Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 960, here are decompositions:
- 7 + 953 = 960
- 13 + 947 = 960
- 19 + 941 = 960
- 23 + 937 = 960
- 31 + 929 = 960
- 41 + 919 = 960
- 53 + 907 = 960
- 73 + 887 = 960
Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.
