Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 990, here are decompositions:
- 7 + 983 = 990
- 13 + 977 = 990
- 19 + 971 = 990
- 23 + 967 = 990
- 37 + 953 = 990
- 43 + 947 = 990
- 53 + 937 = 990
- 61 + 929 = 990
Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.
