What is the magic sum of 4 into 4 magic square?

Making a magic square before an audience, if done properly, can be an impressive demonstration of one’s apparent command of higher-level mathematics. I’ll show you how to do this, using a seemingly more difficult 4×4 grid. This magic square adds up to 34.

Is there a 4×4 magic square?

The 4×4 magic square consists of 4 rows which multiplied by 4 columns is 16 cells. The 4×4 magic square must contain 16 different numbers. A pure magic 4×4 square contains the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16.

A standard foursquare area is one large square, 10′ x 10′ divided into four smaller squares (5′ x 5′), and each box is labeled A, B, C, D or 1, 2, 3, 4. The box labeled A or 1 contains a smaller service box (1.5′ x 1.5′) located in the far outside corner of the square.

How can we solve magic square?

There are five easy steps.

List the nine consecutive numbers in order.
Add them up then divide by three.
The very middle number in a consecutive number list is the number for the middle square.
Apply the rules in the magic square solution diagram.

How many squares are there in a 4×4 grid?

After they have had a chance to think about and have yelled out some more answers ask them how many squares there are in a 1×1 grid (1) and in a 2×2 grid (the 4 small squares and the 1 big square = 5) and a 3×3 grid (9 small squares, 4 of the 2×2, and 1 big one = 14). So the total for a 4×4 is 16 + 9 + 4 + 1 = 30.

How do you solve magic squares?

Here are the steps:

List the numbers in order from least to greatest on a sheet of paper.
Add all nine of the numbers on your list up to get the total.
Divide the total from Step 2 by 3.
Go back to your list of numbers and the number in the very middle of that list will be placed in the center of the magic square.
