Magic squares are a set of numbers filled in a 3 x 3, 4 x 4,\u2026 squares and after filling it, all the vertical, Horizontal and both diagonal totals are equal.<\/p>\n

Properties of the Magic Square:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Magic squares are made in 3 x 3, 4 x 4, 5 x 5\u2026.etc.<\/li>\n
  2. Generally a 3 x 3 magic square is filled with numbers 1 to 9 and 4 x 4 magic square is filled with 1 to 16,\u2026\u2026 In general a “n x n” magic square will be filled with 1 to n square numbers.<\/li>\n
  3. In general in a “n x n” magic square will have “n” rows and “n” columns and n square Small squares.<\/li>\n
  4. After filling all squares\u00a0 ALL VERTICAL, ALL HORIZONTAL AND BOTH DIAGONAL THE TOTALS ARE EQUAL.<\/li>\n
  5. A magic square done from 1 to 9, 1 to 16,\u2026 are called as Base Magic square.<\/li>\n
  6. The total of a row\/column of a Base Magic Square will be “First number plus the Last number added together, divided by two, and then multiplied by the Number of rows”. i.e. {( 1 + n square ) \/ 2} \u2026\u2026. {( 1 + n square ) divided 2}<\/li>\n
  7. Generally natural numbers 1,2,3,\u2026 are used for forming the magic squares and we can use fractions, zero, negative numbers and squares, cubes etc etc\u2026<\/li>\n
  8. We can make 3 x 3, 4 x 4, 5 x 5\u2026 upto infinite.\u00a0 Magic squares for a particular number, particular size and for a given space interval is at our choice.<\/li>\n
  9. Also we can make magic squares for a given number, given year or given date of birth etc.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
