Add the unused numbers to the open boxes in the magic square so that the rows, columns, and diagonals add up to 15. In the first row: 6 + 8 = 14, the missing number to total 15 is 1. In the third row: 2 + 4 = 6, the missing number to total 15 is 9. In the first column: 6+2 = 8, the missing number to total 15 is 7.

In order to make a 5 × 5 magic square, the first step is to find the magic constant using the same formula: M = n ( n 2 + 1 ) 2 \( . So, the sum of all the numbers in each row, column, and main diagonal of a 5 × 5 magic square is 65.

So in the square above, 8 + 2 = 10 , 6 + 4 = 10, 1 + 9 = 10 and 3 + 7 = 10. Why is this? The "order" of a magic square tells how many rows or columns it has. So a square with 3 rows and columns is Order 3, and a square with 4 rows and columns is Order 4 and so on.

The standard or normal magic square is defined as an arrangement of the first n2 natural numbers (or positive integers) into a square matrix so that the sum of the numbers in each column, row and diagonal is the same magic number. This magic number is determined by n and is equal to n(n2 + 1)/2.

The magic square is a square matrix, whose order is odd and where the sum of the elements for each row or each column or each diagonal is same. The sum of each row or each column or each diagonal can be found using this formula. n(n2+ 1)/2.

A magic square is an arrangement like the one below where the vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines of numbers all add up to the same value. This 'same value' is called the sum of the magic square. It's a critical part of this problem that three times the centre square is equal to the sum of the magic square.
