Yes, you can fold a circle in half in various ways by selecting different diameters or lines of symmetry. Each fold can involve different angles and placements of the fold line, leading to multiple unique folding methods. While the basic concept of folding in half suggests two equal parts, the variations in approach can create more than 15 distinct methods. However, the fundamental outcome remains the same: the circle is divided into two equal halves.

Yes, you can fold a circle in half in more than fifteen different ways by varying the angles and positions of the folds. Each unique fold can be achieved by choosing different diameters or arcs as folding lines, resulting in diverse symmetrical shapes. Additionally, creative folding techniques can create multiple configurations, exceeding fifteen distinct methods.
No, you cannot fold a circle into halves more than 15 times. Theoretically, each fold doubles the number of sections, but practical limitations arise due to the increasing thickness and reduced size of the folded material. In reality, after about 7 or 8 folds, the material becomes too thick and small to fold effectively. Thus, achieving more than 15 folds is not feasible.
It's five and a halve
Different people use different strategies. Some would divide by two (halve the number) and do that again for division by four. And one more time for division by eight. I find that I can do long divisions quickly and accurately so that is the way I choose.
Half circle plus quarter circle is equal to three-fourths of a circle. Three-fourths of a circle plus one eighth of a circle is seven-eighths. You still need one more eighth to complete the circle.
