每周数学 (二十五)4x4 magic square
The *4x4 magic square puzzles* is solved by finding the values that make the sums all rows, columns and diagonals equal to the same value. ... The normal variations of these puzzles (in other words, 4x4 puzzles that contain only 1-16 in their cells) have a magic constant of 34 no matter how the numbers are arranged.
*Solutions: 平衡法*
Sum= 1+2+3+..+16
=(1+16)x16/2
=136
Average=136/4=34

*这些数字是多少呢?*
*解答*
X=2519
(X+1) must be divisible by 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9and 10.
Using LCM, (X+1)=2x2x2x3x3x5x7
👍🙂👏👏🤝
x=LCMxn -1
