There is not "the" conjecture: there are several.

The oldest and probably best known unsolved conjecture in number theory is the Goldbach conjecture. According to it every even integer greater than two can be expressed as the sum of two prime numbers.

How are conjectures and statements different'?

Conjectures and statements differ primarily in their nature and certainty. A statement is a declarative sentence that can be classified as true or false, while a conjecture is a proposition that is believed to be true based on observations or patterns but has not yet been proven. Essentially, all conjectures are statements, but not all statements are conjectures; some may be established facts. Conjectures often serve as hypotheses in mathematical and scientific contexts that require further investigation or proof.


What is the complete definition of math?

Mathematics is the study of quantity, structure, space, and change. Mathematicians seek out patterns, formulate new conjectures, and establish truth by rigorous deduction from appropriately chosen axioms and definitions.
