that every even number greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. A number is prime if it is divisible only by itself and 1. So, for example, 36 = 17+19.

The problem is to prove the conjecture, or find a counter-example.

you can take the negation of this and try to prove it, if you fall for a contradiction then the statement is true and your supposition (negation) is false. etc etc
