E. Cohen [1], [2] has considered an analogue of the famous Goldbach problem in certain finite rings. In the following another analogue is considered in the ring Jn of residue classes over the integers modulo n.

As 'primes' in Jn we take all residue classes coprime to n. That is, all elements p ϵ Jn which are not factors of zero in Jn. We denote this set by Rn.
