Sometimes, a conjecture is called a hypothesis when it is used frequently and repeatedly as an assumption in proofs of other results. For example, the Riemann hypothesis is a conjecture from number theory that — amongst other things — makes predictions about the distribution of prime numbers. Few number theorists doubt that the Riemann ...
A conjecture is a proposition that is unproven. Conjectures are related to hypotheses , which in science are empirically testable conjectures. In mathematics , a conjecture is an unproven proposition that appears correct.
Goldbach’s Conjecture. One of the greatest unsolved mysteries in math is also very easy to write. Goldbach’s Conjecture is, “Every even number (greater than two) is the sum of two primes ...

This conjecture is known as Lemoine's conjecture and is also called Levy's conjecture. The Goldbach conjecture for practical numbers, a prime-like sequence of integers, was stated by Margenstern in 1984, [33] and proved by Melfi in 1996: [34] every even number is a sum of two practical numbers.

The conjecture was formulated in 1993 by Andrew Beal, a banker and amateur mathematician, while investigating generalizations of Fermat's Last Theorem. [1] [2] Since 1997, Beal has offered a monetary prize for a peer-reviewed proof of this conjecture or a counterexample. [3] The value of the prize has increased several times and is currently $1 ...
