FRANKLIN MAGIC RECTANGLE

A) If the row and column are multiples of 8 then the Franklin’s magic rectangle is created.

Interesting properties:

1) Sum of half column is equal, ex: 2+384+45+339+6+380+41+343+10+376+37+347 =

14+372+33+351+18+368+29+355+22+364+25+359 = 2310

Sum of half row is equal, ex: 2+381+340+47+50+333+292+95 = 98+285+244+143+146+237+196+191 =

1540

2) Sum any subsquare 2x2 is equal, ex: 3+46+383+338 = 770 (4/16 constant magic row or 4/24 constant
magic column).

3) Sum any 4 cells symmetry is equal, ex: 337+240+169+24 = 770

4) Sum any octagonal is equal (same size), ex: 1+382+54+332+8+379+7+377 = 1540 (770*2).

287+100+195+233+186+235+188+154+249+134+277+247+56+293+102+144 = 3080 (770*4).

133+250+105+131+228+206+157+175+209+223+176+166+261+267+124+263+72+74+313+307+20+30+
356+370+81+63+304+326 = 5390 (770*7).

12) Sum of square of 2 row or column is equal , such as row or column (1-3), (2-4), (5-7), (6-8), (9-11),
(10-12), …, ex: row 1 and 3: 2^2+381^2+340^2+47^2+…+146^2+237^2+196^2+191^2 =
45^2+338^2+383^2+4^2+…+189^2+194^2+239^2+148^2.

Column 1 and 3: 2^2+384^2+45^2+339^2+…+22^2+364^2+25^2+359^2 = 340^2+46^2+383^2+1^2+…

+360^2+26^2+363^2+21^2.

13) The numbers of any any row make magic square 4x4, ex:

24 19 33 24 18 32
4 1 2 3 9 2 11 8
Numbers of row 1 Numbers of row 10

The numbers of each 4 row (1-4, 5-8, 9-12, 13-16, 17-20, 21-24) make magic square 8x8, ex:

10 373 300 87 106 277 204 183

376 11 86 297 280 107 182 201

327 60 37 346 231 156 133 250
Numbers of row 9-12

The numbers of each 2 row (1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8) of this Franklin magic square make magic square 4x4, ex:

39 325 252 154

348 58 135 229
134 232 345 59
 249 155 38 328
Numbers of row 5-6

B) If the row or column is a multiple of 4, it creates a magic rectangle that has many of the properties of
Franklin’s magic rectangle.
