Infinite amount of times. Its just a matter of how accurate you can draw the dividing lines.

When you divide a circle into eight equal parts how many eights make up to whole circle?
Eight of them.
How do you divide a circle into 13 equal parts?
A circle is 380 degrees Therefore: 380 / 13 = 29.230769231
Using a compass and a ruler is there a way to divide a circle into equal parts 5 6 7 8 or more parts?
I can answer for 6, 12, 24 48, etc, 8, 16, 32, 64, etc with a slight "cheat"First:To construct the perpendicular bisector of a line (with known end points):Set the compass to larger than half the length of the line.With the compass on one end point, draw arcs either side of the lineWith the compass on the other end point, draw arcs to intersect these.With the straight edge draw a line between the points where the arcs intersect on either side of the original line - this is the perpendicular bisector.To construct the bisector of an angle.Set the compass to any width.With the compass on the point of the angle, draw arcs on each arm of the angle.With the compass on one arm of the angle where the arc intersects it, draw another arc between the arms (away from the point of the angle)With the compass on the other intersection of arm and arc, draw another arc to intersect the arc just drawn.Join the point of the angle to the point the two arcs intersect - this is the angle bisector.In all cases, the centre of the circle is needed. If the centre is not known it can be found:Draw any two chords on the circle.Construct the perpendicular bisectors of the chordsWhere the perpendicular bisectors meet is the centre of the circle.6, 12, 24, 48, ...For 6 equal parts: If the circle has just been drawn, keep the compass set to its radius; otherwise set the compass to the radius of the compass (this is the slight "cheat") using the centre of the circle.Mark the circumference of the circle at any point.With the compass on this point, draw an arc to intersect the circle.Using this intersection as the marked point, repeat step 3 three more times.Join each of the six marked points on the circumference to the centre - the circle is now split into 6 equal parts.For 12 equal parts: Split the circle into 6 equal parts.Bisect each of the segments (at the angle at the centre of the circle), joining the circle centre to the circumference each time.For 24, 48, etc parts, bisect the segments of the previous one. For example, to get 48 equal parts split the circle into 6 equal parts, bisect the angles to get 12 equal parts, bisect the angles again to get 24 equal parts and finally bisect the angles again to get 48 equal parts.8, 16, 32, 64, ...For 8 equal parts: Draw in a diameter (2 equal parts).Construct the perpendicular bisector of this diameter (4 equal parts).Bisect each of the segments (at the centre angle), joining the centre to the circumference.For 16, 32, 64, etc equal parts, bisect the segments (as with 12, 24, 48, etc parts). In these constructions, there are an even number of points and the opposite points are at the ends of a diameter, so construct time can be reduced by drawing in diameters instead of radii.
Can you divide a circle into 7 equal parts?
Technically no because 360/7 is a repeating decimal but it can be approximated
How do you divide rectangle into 7 equal parts?
Divide it into equal parts with horizontal or vertical lines.
How do you divide a circle into 12 equal parts without a protractor or compass?
it is 100 equal part given by t.l.e teacher
How do you draw a sphere?
step 1: make a circle with a compass step 2: divide the circle into 4 equal parts step 3: draw curved lines
What divides the circle equally into 2 parts?
Only the diameter can divide the circle in to two equal parts.
How do you divide a circle into 10 equal parts?
Not everyone knows ?
How do you divide a circle with 9cm diameter in three equal parts?
Construct a circle with a 4.5 radius. The circle's circumference is 360 degrees. So mark out 3 by 120 degrees on the circumference and join them to the centre of the circle which will divide the circle into three equal parts.
How do you find the 4 equal parts of a circle?
You just divide the circles into 4 parts
How do you find the angle of a circle divided into 8 equal parts?
There are 2pi in a circle. If we divide a circle into 8 equal parts, then each part will be pi/4, [(2pi)/8].
How do you divide a circle in to 6th equal parts?
If you have a protractor: Draw a line from the center of the circle to the outside (radius), then measure 60 degrees and draw another line. If you have a compass: Draw a circle using the compass, then, using your compass, place the compass needle on the edge of the circle, draw another circle (KEEP THE RADIUS THE SAME). Your two circles should have two intersection points. Place the needle on one of the intersection points and repeat the process. I suggest you look at:
When you divide a circle into eight equal parts how many eights make up to whole circle?
Eight of them.
How do you divide a circle into four equal parts?
draw a + inside it, touching the outside of the circle-cut it into Quaters.
What is one way to make a quadrant?
