Different Types of Magic Rectangles in Construction of Magic Squares of Order 30

Never seen before.

This work brings magic squares in very different way. These are based on three different types of magic rectangles:
1. Bordered Magic Rectangles:
2. Double Digits Magic Rectangles:
3. Cornered magic rectangles.

First of let’s understand these magic rectangles one by one. Removing external borders in each case still we left with lower order magic rectangles. See below few examples in each case.

1. Bordered Magic Rectangles

Below are two examples of bordered magic rectangles

Example 1. Bordered Magic Rectangle of Order 12×18

The entries according to colors are as follows:

Example 2. Bordered Magic Rectangle of Order 6×16

The entries according to colors are as follows:

More details are given in author’s recent work:

2. Double Digits Magic Rectangles

Below are two examples of bordered magic rectangles

Example 1. Double Digits Magic Rectangle of Order 14×20

Except the corners, the entries entries sums are understood as

Example 2. Double Digits Magic Rectangle of Order 12×18

Except the corners, the entries entries sums are understood as

After reorganizing the internal magic rectangle of order 4×16, we have the following double digits magic rectangle:

3. Cornered Magic Rectangles

Below are two examples of cornered magic rectangles

Example 1. Cornered Magic Rectangle of Order 8×12

Let’s consider a cornered magic rectangle of order 8×12 formed by 96 sequencial entries, i.e., from 1 to 96:

Distributions in colors as follows:

Example 2. Cornered Magic Rectangle of Order 8×12

Let’s consider a cornered magic rectangle of order 10×24 formed by 240 sequencial entries, i.e., from 1 to 240:

Distributions in colors as follows:

More details are given in author’s recent work:

Based on ideas given above, we shall construct magic squares of order 22. These are constructed with four magic rectangles. As explained above these are of are of equal sums. These are made with the help of script by H. White (Downloads (budshaw.ca) – NestedCornerRectangles)). These kinds of magic squares are never seen in the history. There are of different styles. All the three types of magic rectangles are used to bring magic squares of order 22. See below:

Magic Squares of Order 30

Initially below are two double digits and cornered magic squares of order 30:

1. Bordered Magic Rectangles and
Magic Squares of Order 30

Below are examples of magic squares of order 30 centered in magic squares of order 6, 10, 14, 18 and 22 respectively. These are constructed with four equal sums bordered magic rectangles of orders 12×18, 10×20, 8×22, 6×24 and 4×26 respectively.

More examples are in pdf file attached at the end of work.

2. Double Digits Magic Rectangles and
Magic Squares of Order 30

Below are examples of magic squares of order 30 centered in magic squares of order 6, 10, 14 and 18 respectively. These are constructed with four equal sums double digits magic rectangles of orders 12×18, 10×20, 8×22 and 6×24 respectively.

More examples are in pdf file attached at the end of work.

In this case we don’t have magic square of order 30 centered in magic square of order 22 having four equal sums double digits magic rectangles.

3. Cornered Magic Rectangles and
Magic Squares of Order 30: First Type

Below are examples of magic squares of order 30 centered in magic squares of order 6, 10, 14, 18 and 22 respectively. These are constructed with four equal sums cornered magic rectangles of orders 12×18, 10×20, 8×22, 6×24 and 4×26 respectively.

3. Cornered Magic Rectangles and
Magic Squares of Order 26: Second Type

Below are examples of magic squares of order 30 centered in magic squares of order 6, 10, 14 and 18 respectively. These are constructed with four equal sums cornered magic rectangles of orders 12×18, 10×20, 8×22 and 6×24 respectively.

3. Cornered Magic Rectangles and
Magic Squares of Order 30: Third Type

Below are examples of magic squares of order 30 centered in magic squares of order 6, 10, 14 and 18 respectively. These are constructed with four equal sums cornered magic rectangles of orders 12×18, 10×20, 8×22 and 6×24 respectively.

PDF File of Magic Squares of Order 30

Below is a pdf file of 541 magic squares of order 30 for download. These are constructed with 4 equal sums magic rectangles of three types as explained above. Magic squares numbers 1 and 2 are basic.
