Concentric (4x4 in 6x6 in) 8x8 magic square

 

To construct a concentric magic square you can put each time a new border around the square to make it larger and larger and so you can construct a 4x4 in 6x6 in 8x8 in 10x10 in ... magic square.

 

 

Number +10                =         Number + 14                              =         4x4 in 6x6 in 8x8 magic square

Take the 6x6 concentric magic square, add 14 to all numbers and construct the border [see webpage 6x6 in 8x8 (1)]
