In 1975, Hugh Lowell Montgomery and Bob Vaughan showed that "most" even numbers are expressible as the sum of two primes. More precisely, they showed that there exist positive constants c and C such that for all sufficiently large numbers N, every even number less than N is the sum of two primes, with at most CN 1 − c exceptions.
The purpose of this restriction is to preclude the known infinitude of solutions in which two exponents are 2 and the other exponent is any even number. The n-th harmonic number, which is the sum of the reciprocals of the first n positive integers, is never an integer except for the case n = 1.
In mathematics, summation is the addition of a sequence of numbers, called addends or summands; the result is their sum or total.Beside numbers, other types of values can be summed as well: functions, vectors, matrices, polynomials and, in general, elements of any type of mathematical objects on which an operation denoted "+" is defined.
A cluster prime is a prime p such that every even natural number k ≤ p − 3 is the difference of two primes not exceeding p. 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, ... (OEIS: A038134) All odd primes between 3 and 89, inclusive, are cluster primes. The first 10 primes that are not cluster primes are: 2, 97, 127, 149, 191, 211, 223, 227, 229, 251.
For if every even number greater than 4 is the sum of two odd primes, adding 3 to each even number greater than 4 will produce the odd numbers greater than 7 (and 7 itself is equal to 2+2+3). In 2013, Harald Helfgott released a proof of Goldbach's weak conjecture. [2]
The first four perfect numbers are 6, 28, 496 and 8128. [1] ... 28 is also the only even perfect number that is a sum of two positive cubes of integers ...
Every even number greater than can be represented as the sum of a prime and a square-free number with at most two prime factors. Also in 2022, Bordignon and Valeriia Starichkova [ 9 ] showed that the bound can be lowered to e e 15.85 ≈ 3.6 ⋅ 10 3321634 {\displaystyle e^{e^{15.85}}\approx 3.6\cdot 10^{3321634}} assuming the Generalized ...
The n th pronic number is the sum of the first n even integers, and as such is twice the n th triangular number [1] [2] and n more than the n th square number, as given by the alternative formula n 2 + n for pronic numbers. Hence the n th pronic number and the n th square number (the sum of the first n odd integers) form a superparticular ratio:
