# Goldbach Conjecture!

Goldbach Conjecture states that" Every even integer greater than 2 can be written as sum of two primes"

I think this might be a proof.

Let a number be 2k and let the two primes be 2n+1 and 2m+1. Therefore, 2k=2(m+n+1) k=m+n+1

Therefore, there are infinite many solutions and one of them satisfies the given equation. Goldbach conjecture is true. All who think this is wrong , please comment and make me realize my mistake

You can find infinitely many solutions for some random m and n. But how do you know you can find infinitely many solutions such that 2m + 1 and 2n + 1 are both prime? · 1 year, 10 months ago

there are infinite but only one satisfies it · 1 year, 10 months ago

How do you know that there will be one for sure that will satisfy it? What if there are none? · 1 year, 10 months ago

What is n and m? How do you determine them for a given k? E.g. If $$k = 1000000000$$, what is $$n, m$$? Staff · 2 years, 5 months ago
