## Abstract

We know that any prime number of form $4s+1$ can be written as a sum of two perfect square numbers. As a consequence of Goldbach's weak conjecture, any number great than $10$ can be represented as a sum of four primes. We are motivated to consider an equation with some constraints about digital sum for the four primes. And we conclude that the square root of the digital sum of the four primes will greater than $4$ and will not be a multiple of $3$ if the equation has solutions. In the proof, we give the method of determining whether a number is a perfect square.
