While they may have been called magic squares, there is absolutely nothing magical about them. The arrangement of numbers in magic squares is all very rational.
In an 8x8 magic square, the sum of each row, column, and diagonal is the same, known as the magic constant. For an n x n magic square, the magic constant can be calculated using the formula ( M = \frac{n(n^2 + 1)}{2} ). For an 8x8 magic square, this gives ( M = \frac{8(64 + 1)}{2} = 260 ). Therefore, the sum in the 1st row of an 8x8 magic square is 260.
36 + 64 = 100 (6x6) + (8x8)
