Might be divide it to rectangle
Only once, there will only be eights parts however you divide it.
Four parallel lines through it.
16 divided by 4 equals 4
Cut it from the top and straight down, and make 3 equal sized pieces.

Draw a square and divide it into six equal rectangles, for example: ................................... ... ------------------ ... ... | . | . | . | . | . | . | ... ... | . | . | . | . | . | . | ... ... | . | . | . | . | . | . | ... ... | . | . | . | . | . | . | ... ... | . | . | . | . | . | . | ... ... | . | . | . | . | . | . | ... ... | . | . | . | . | . | . | ... ... ------------------ ... ...................................
Draw 2 parallel lines which will result in 3 equal rectangles within the same square.
Select any one side. Divide its length into 5 equal parts. Do the same to the opposite side. Join the corresponding divisions. You will then have 5 equal rectangular divisions of the square.
Yes you can, but you have to use zig zag lines. Using straight lines there are only four ways to divide a square into two equal parts (along the lines of symmetry).
16 divided by 4 equals 4
