14.13.10 Simple Magic Squares (10 x 10)

Prime Number Simple Magic Squares of order 10 can be constructed with the Generator Principle, as applied in previous sections.

However, due to the vast amount of possible Magic Series for 100 Consecutive Prime Numbers, only partial collections can be considered.

Suitable Generators (10 Magic Series) can be constructed semi-automatically (ref. CnstrGen10a), although also Broken Series might be applied as illustrated in following example.

A possible Semi Magic Square and resulting Simple Magic Square are shown below, for the smallest consecutive prime numbers {23 ... 593} for which an Order 10 Simple Magic Square exists (MC10 = 2862):

The Generator Method has been applied for miscellaneous Magic Sums, for which the first occurring Simple Magic Squares are shown in Attachment 14.13.9.

The Generator Method, as applied for Inlaid Magic Squares based on Consecutive Prime Numbers can be summarised as follows:

• The Generator (8 Magic Series, 2 Non Magic Series) can be constructed semi-automatically (ref, CnstrGen10b);
• The Non Magic Series have been corrected by permutating the numbers within the last two rows;
• The Semi Magic Square has been constructed by permutating the numbers within the rows, while leaving the order 3 Inlay as constructed;
• The Magic Square can be obtained semi automatically by permutating the rows and columns within the Semi Magic Square (ref. CnstrSqrs10).

Potential order 3 Square Inlays (21 unique) have been constructed for the consecutive prime numbers (41 ... 613) with routine Prime1311 and are shown in Attachment 14.13.11.

The order 3 Square Inlay has been moved (one position) along the Main Diagonal (top/left to bottom/right) by means of row and column permutations.

14.13.17 Composed Magic Squares (10 x 10)
         Order 4 and 6 Simple Magic Sub Squares

When the Magic Sum s10 is a multiple of 10 (e.g. 3500), order 10 (Semi) Magic Squares might be composed of:

• One 4^th order Magic Corner Square with Magic Sum s4 = 4 * s10 / 10 = 1400 (top/left)
• One 6^th order Magic Corner Square with Magic Sum s6 = 6 * s10 / 10 = 2100 (bottom/right)
• Two Magic Rectangles order 4 x 6 with s4 = 1400 and s6 = 2100
