How can I figure out magic square sum with only the integers -4,-2, and 2?
Q. It's very hard for my daughter to answer one of these questions that include magic square integers. So without telling her the answer I ask the question on the internet, so I don't feel guilty when I do help her with it and end up giving the answer.

A. I don't exactly understand your question, because you can't make a magic square only using three numbers. However, there is a very easy way to find the magic square sum of any magic square. Simply add all of the numbers that you need to use and divide by the number of rows OR columns. That gives the average total value per row/column, which is the sum.

Why does the sum of a 4x4 magic square have to be 34?
Q. Why does a 4x4 magic square grid have to have a sum that is equal to 34?
Asked by Nancy P - Tue Oct 14 15:02:10 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. because the total is 1 + 2 + 3...+ 12 + 13+ 14, and since each of the 4 colums (or rows) has to equal the same number, it HAS to be the total divided by 4, or 136/4 which is 34

A. If you click on the FAQ, he gives an email address you can mail to get an answer. Also a hint. Since he allows pieces to stick out from the frame, there is no way to restrict the solutions other than by limit of their values. You can find solutions to 1-16 magic squares on lots of sites - try subtracting one from each number and seeing how things add up.

Asked by landlady - Thu Sep 10 06:26:18 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Ok lets say you were going to make a square that had a length of 3 and place numbers into them. 3*3=9 so you would have to place 9 numbers into the square. So if you place the numbers 1 through 9 and you added up all of these numbers you would get 45. Now in this magic square, if you add up 3 of the squares across the vertical, horizontal or diagonals you will get the same number, 15. This is expected as 15 = 45 (total of the numbers) * 3 (the number of squares you are adding) / 9 (the total number of squares). There is, however, only a small number of ways you can arrange the numbers so that all of the vertical, horizontal and diagonal tallies will give the same number. There are magic squares for sides of length 4, 5, etc. The… [cont.]

A. Consider the 3x3 square, which has the numbers 1-9. These numbers sum to 45, so each row, column and diagonal must sum to 45/3 = 15. Also there are 8 combinations of 15 we need (3 rows, 3 columns, 2 diagonals). Let's list the combinations that add up to 15. 1) 4,5,6 2) 3,5,7 3) 2,5,8 4) 1,5,9 5) 1,6,8 6) 2,6,7 7) 2,4,9 8) 3,4,8 You'll see that the only number that features four times is the 5. So the 5 goes in the center. The 2,4,6,8 each feature 3 times, so they must go in the diagonals. The 1,3,7,9 feature 2 times each, so they go in the last 4 spaces. Now just rearrange them so include all 8 combinations. 2,7,9 9,5,1 4,3,8

A. There are a couple of issues to address here. First, in a normal magic square, that is, a magic square that uses consecutive integers starting from 1, the sum of each column/diagonal/row must be fifteen. In order to sum to 30, you will need to take your "normal"solution and multiply each number by two. Second, there are lots of patterns for producing magic squares. For a 3x3, the one I remember from school is to put "1" in the middle of the top row. And then each number is added by moving diagonally up and to the right; if this move causes the number to leave the square, you put the number in either the bottom row or left column.
