Goldbach’s Conjecture

Christian Goldbach, a Russian mathematician [March 18, 1690 – November 20, 1764], given a popular conjecture in number theory named as Goldbach’s conjecture . According to this conjecture, every even positive integer greater than 2 can be expressed as the sum of two prime numbers. As per the definition, every even positive integer n > 2 is the sum of two prime numbers p and q. Mathematically, n = sum(p, q) . Conditions Condition 1: Integer n must be even. Condition 2: Integer n must be greater than 2. For Example Integer n: 10 Sum of two prime numbers p and q: 3 + 7 => 10. Integer n: 44 Sum of two prime numbers p and q: 3 + 41 => 44. Integer n: 58 Sum of two prime numbers p and q: 5 + 53 => 58. Integer n: 90 Sum of two prime numbers p and q: 7 + 83 => 90. Integer n: 100 Sum of two prime numbers p and q: 3 + 97 => 100. H ope you have understood this amazing concept of Goldbach’s conjecture.
