A square which is magic under multiplication instead of addition (the operation used to define a conventional magic square) is called a multiplication magic square. Unlike (normal) magic squares, the n^2 entries for an nth order multiplicative magic square are not required to be consecutive. The above multiplication magic square has a multiplicative magic constant of 4096 and was found by Antoine Arnauld in Nouveaux Eléments de Géométrie, Paris in 1667 (Boyer).
