Think about a circle. If you divide it into six equal parts, each part is 1/6 of the circle. Now think about a circle that is identical to the first. If you divide that one into eight equal parts, each part is 1/8 of the circle. If you compare the two divided circles, you will see that the 1/8 pieces must be smaller than the 1/6 pieces, because eight pieces are filling the same space as six pieces. Draw this out on paper to prove this to yourself if need be.
To divide a circle into 26 equal parts, you can use a protractor to mark angles of 13.85 degrees each, since 360 degrees divided by 26 equals approximately 13.85 degrees. Alternatively, you could use a compass to create marks along the circumference by measuring equal arc lengths that correspond to 1/26 of the total circle. After marking the points, you can draw lines from the center of the circle to each point to create the 26 equal sections.
Equal parts of a whole are called fractions. Each part represents a portion of the whole, typically expressed with a numerator and a denominator. For example, in the fraction 1/4, the numerator (1) indicates how many parts are being considered, while the denominator (4) indicates the total number of equal parts that make up the whole.
A circle is divided into 360° and each of them is 1° ■

The number of degrees in one complete revolution of a radius is 360°. Therefore the number of degrees covered in 1/5 of a revolution is 72° . To divide a circle into 5 equal parts create 5 sectors each measuring 72° at the centre of the circle.

A single one of four equal parts is called a "quarter." In mathematical terms, when an object or a whole is divided into four equal parts, each part represents one-fourth or 1/4 of the whole. This concept is commonly used in fractions and is essential in various mathematical operations and measurements.

A quarter circle has one axis of symmetry. An axis of symmetry is a line that divides a shape into two equal halves that are mirror images of each other. In the case of a quarter circle, if you draw a line through the center of the circle perpendicular to the diameter, it will divide the quarter circle into two equal parts that are mirror images of each other.
