Question

Constructor 5 into 5 magic square numbers from 2 to 50

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let us understand what magic square is.

A magic square is an arrangement of numbers in a square in such a way that the sum of each row, column, and diagonal is one constant number, the so-called “magic sum” or sometimes “magic constant”.

Collect all even numbers from 1 to 50.

They are: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50.

Now, let us try to create a magic square using these even numbers from 1 to 50 stepwise.

Step 1: Place 2 (the smallest number is given) in the centre box in the top row.

This is where you always begin when your magic square has odd-numbered sides, regardless of how large or small that number is.
