How many primes needed for the GOLDBACH CONJECTURE?


Out of the 664579 primes <10'000'000, just 10'545 selected prime numbers are needed to secure at least one Goldbach partition for any even number <10'000'000, less than 2%!

Considering all even numbers <10'000'000, the average count of Goldbach partitions amounts to 3'344 (per even number, using all primes <10'000'000), whereas, on the basis of the selected primes, the average count is just 6,93, less than 2/1000.

Article attached explains algorithm for selecting prime numbers.
