Goldbach decomposition

Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 978, here are decompositions:

  • 7 + 971 = 978
  • 11 + 967 = 978
  • 31 + 947 = 978
  • 37 + 941 = 978
  • 41 + 937 = 978
  • 59 + 919 = 978
  • 67 + 911 = 978
  • 71 + 907 = 978

Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.
