  2. Goldbach's weak conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldbach's_weak_conjecture

    In 1923, Hardy and Littlewood showed that, assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis, the weak Goldbach conjecture is true for all sufficiently large odd numbers. In 1937, Ivan Matveevich Vinogradov eliminated the dependency on the generalised Riemann hypothesis and proved directly (see Vinogradov's theorem) that all sufficiently large odd numbers can be expressed as the sum of three primes.

    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.

  4. Goldbach's conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldbach's_conjecture

    Goldbach's conjecture is one of the oldest and best-known unsolved problems in number theory and all of mathematics. It states that every even natural number greater than 2 is the sum of two prime numbers. The conjecture has been shown to hold for all integers less than 4 × 10 18 but remains unproven despite considerable effort.

    The number is taken to be 'odd' or 'even' according to whether its numerator is odd or even. Then the formula for the map is exactly the same as when the domain is the integers: an 'even' such rational is divided by 2; an 'odd' such rational is multiplied by 3 and then 1 is added.

  6. Vinogradov's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinogradov's_theorem

    In number theory, Vinogradov's theorem is a result which implies that any sufficiently large odd integer can be written as a sum of three prime numbers.It is a weaker form of Goldbach's weak conjecture, which would imply the existence of such a representation for all odd integers greater than five.

    Rathbone’s daughter, Lilly-Mo, was asked on the worksheet to pick the odd item out based on the five items she was given. The items listed were: friend, toothbrush, desk, silver, and egg.

    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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramanujan's_sum

    In number theory, Ramanujan's sum, usually denoted c q (n), is a function of two positive integer variables q and n defined by the formula c q ( n ) = ∑ 1 ≤ a ≤ q ( a , q ) = 1 e 2 π i a q n , {\displaystyle c_{q}(n)=\sum _{1\leq a\leq q \atop (a,q)=1}e^{2\pi i{\tfrac {a}{q}}n},}
