Goldbachs conjecture is one of the oldest and bestknown unsolved problems in number theory of mathematics. Since 4 is the only even number greater than 2 that requires the even prime 2 in order to be written as the sum of two primes, another form of the statement of goldbachs conjecture is that all even integers greater than 4 are goldbach numbers. For example, 3 and 5 are both prime and differ by two.

Following the same approach, the twin prime conjecture and the goldbach conjecture are found to be true. However, since the properties that generate the integers are in play from the start, it is against everything we know to believe that all large numbers will behave fun.

A goldbach number is a positive even integer that can be expressed as the sum of two odd primes. Eventually, in 2009, goldston, pintz, and yildirim proved that the limit inferior is in fact zero, and furthermore produced the unconditional result that, letting qn denote the nth number. If yes, then one by one subtract a prime from n and then check if the. Sometimes the term twin prime is used for a pair of twin primes.

Before we present our conjecture it is appropiate to outline previous works on the matter. This page was created to organize all the conjectures and unsolved problems involving prime numbers, listed from highest to least importance. As numbers get larger, primes become less frequent and twin primes rarer still. Given a real number x, we can define the density of prime numbers. A twin prime is a prime number that is either 2 less or 2 more than another prime numberfor example, either member of the twin prime pair 41, 43. Prime conjectures and open questions below are just a few of the many conjectures concerning primes. Every even integer greater than 2 can be expressed as the sum of two primes.
