Goldbach's Conjecture is that every even number greater than two can be expressed as the sum of two prime numbers. For example, 4 = 2 + 2, 6 = 3 + 3, 8 = 5 + 3, 10 = 7 + 3, 12 = 7 + 5, etc.
Although the conjecture has been checked up to very large values and many weaker results have been proved, the conjecture remains open. Because it is so well-known and easily understood, it is frequently the subject of mistaken "proofs" by amateur mathematicians.

How do you write a conjecture about the sum of two fractions?
A conjecture is an opinion based on incomplete information, or a guess. It need not be true - or even sensible. So my conjecture is that the sum of two fractions is greater than three quarters. That is a nonsensical conjecture, but it is a conjecture and that is what the question requires.
Is 72 a conjecture?
A conjecture is a proposition that is unproven but appears correct and has not been disproven.
What is a conjucture?
A misspelling of conjecture.
What conjecture can you make about the relationship between multiplying decimals and whole numbers?
You can make whatever conjecture that you want: it does not have to be true or even logical. You could conjecture that the relationship is like the one between the Sun and the Earth!
What is the difference between a hypothesis and a conjecture?
The difference between a hypothesis and a conjecture is that a hypothesis is something investigated or accepted as highly probable in the light established facts and a conjecture is the formation or expression of an opinion or theory without sufficient evidence for proof.
How does goldbachs conjecture work?
Goldbach's Conjecture suggests that every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two prime numbers. It was stated in 1984 and proved in 1996 .
What is the future tense of conjecture?
Will conjecture.
What is a statement that is believed to be true?
a conjecture
What part of speech is conjecture?
Conjecture is a noun.
What is an example of a TRUE conjecture?
The Poincaré Conjecture.
What shows that a conjecture is false?
A conjecture should be testable. You test it and if it fails the test, it is a false conjecture.
What conjecture can you make about the sum of the first 10 positive even numbers?
One possible conjecture is that their sum is 27. The conjecture is patently false, but that does not stop it being a conjecture.
Make a conjecture about the sum of the first 25 positive even numbers?
My conjecture is that the sum is 67. A conjecture does not have to be true, or even plausible. You should be able to test it. If it is found to be true then in is no longer a conjecture, if it is found to be false, it is rejected - and so no longer a conjecture. If it cannot be proved either way, it remains a conjecture.
What is a synonym for conjecture?
A conjecture is a guess, theory, hypothesis, or proposition.

What is a conjecture about the number of factors for square numbers up to 1000?
One possible conjecture is that each square number up to 1000 has 4 factors. The conjecture is manifestly false, but it is still a conjecture.
Is 72 a conjecture?
A conjecture is a proposition that is unproven but appears correct and has not been disproven.
