When something is cut into equal pieces, (think of a pie), the pieces are larger the fewer pieces there are. If the pie is cut in half, that is an entire HALF of the pie one has to eat. But if the pie is cut into three equal pieces, there are more pieces, but they are smaller. So, one fourth of the pie would be even smaller because you are getting ONE piece of a pie that is cut into FOUR pieces. The bottom number of the fraction is how many equal sized pieces there are, and the top number is how many you are getting.
If you've bought 4 pieces of pie, then you want it cut into the fewest possible number of pieces. Go to the pie that was cut into only 6 pieces, not the one that was cut into 11 pieces.

cut each slice with a 1.2 degrees central angle
use math and divide 360 by 18
It is not possible to cut a pie into seven pieces of equal area. Eight pieces and six pieces can both readily be done.

Imagine that you have a pie. If you cut that pie into 10 equal pieces and take four of them, it will be a lot more pie that if you cut the pie into 100 equal pieces and take four of them. If you cut the pie into 10 pieces, each piece is a tenth of the pie. If you cut the pie into one hundred pieces, each piece will be a hundredth of the pie. You can really only tell which fraction is greater when they have the same denominator. 4/10 = 40/100. That's ten times greater than 4/100

Typically, a pie is cut into 6 pieces but 8 is easier. A pie of firmer consistency, like custard, stands up better when cut into 8 pieces.
If you cut a whole pie into eight equal pieces one of those pieces is one eighth.
Five. Anything cut into fifths will produce five pieces.

Six.
If a circle fraction can, a pie can yes
Four diameter cuts, if none of them are the same, will always cut a pie into 8 pieces.
Eight. Use the first two cuts to cut the pie into four pieces, then use the third cut to slice the top from the bottom, doubling the number of pieces to 8.
