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.
