Abstract: Using the first 4000000 primes to find Ln, the largest strong Goldbach number generated by the n-th prime Pn, we generalize a proposition in our previous work (Zhou 2017) and propose that Ln ≈ 2Pn and Ln/2Pn 1 for sufficiently large Pn but the limit of Ln/(Pn + n log n) as n → ∞ is 1. There are five corollaries of the generalized proposition for getting Ln → ∞ as n → ∞, which is equivalent to Goldbach’s conjecture. If every step in distribution curve of Ln is called a Goldbach step, a study on the ratio of width to height for Goldbach steps supports the existence of above two limits but a study on distribution of Goldbach steps supports an estimation that Q(n) ≈ (1 + 1/log log n)n/log n and the limit of Q(n)/((1 + 1/log log n)n/log n) as n → ∞ is 1, where Q(n) is the number of Goldbach steps, from which we may expect there are infinitely many Goldbach steps to imply Goldbach’s conjecture.
