Goldbach decomposition

Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 972, here are decompositions:

5 + 967 = 972
19 + 953 = 972
31 + 941 = 972
43 + 929 = 972
53 + 919 = 972
61 + 911 = 972
89 + 883 = 972
109 + 863 = 972

Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.
