A magic square is a grid of numbers arranged in such a way that the sums of the numbers in each row, column, and both main diagonals are equal. This common sum is known as the magic constant. Magic squares can vary in size, with the smallest being 3x3, and they have been studied in mathematics for centuries due to their intriguing properties and patterns. They often appear in recreational mathematics and art, symbolizing harmony and balance.

The constant is 34.
Just take any magic square, and multiply every number by 5. Here you will get another magic square with all numbers multiples of 5.
A 3x3 magic square has the property that the sum of the numbers in each row, column, and diagonal is the same. For a 3x3 magic square using the numbers 1 to 9, the magic constant is 15, not 18. If you're referring to a different set of numbers or a modified version of a magic square, please specify the numbers used to achieve a magic constant of 18.
Think! What if the magic square had an even number of cells. There's your answer.
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.
Albrecht Dürer drew a 'magic square' in his engraving 'Melencolia I'. But I do not think he invented it.
A 1-9 magic square must add to 15.
A normal 3x3 magic square has a sum of 15. So you subtract 3 from each number in the square.
