Chen's theorem is a result in number theory stating that every sufficiently large even number can be written as the sum of either two primes or a prime and a semiprime, a number that is the product of exactly two primes. It is a weakened form of Goldbach's conjecture, which asserts more strongly that every even number is the sum of two primes.
