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).
with a knife... lol... sorry couldn't help it
There are an infinite number of points on two adjacent sides of a square which can be joined to the diagonally opposite point, so there is an infinite number of ways of halving a square.
It can be done easily in an infinite number of ways. Select any point on the perimeter of the square and cut from there, through the centre of the square, to the opposite perimeter. All in a straight line.
divide a square into eighths
Combined a multiplication sign with a plus sign.

Only once, there will only be eights parts however you divide it.

You could draw in the two diagonals (from corner to opposite corner). You could draw two perpendicular lines to develop four squares inside the existing square. You could draw three parallel lines to develop four equally-sized rectangles within the square.

By cutting along its lines of symmetry
The number of ways to divide 42 can refer to different mathematical concepts, such as partitioning the number into sums of integers or dividing it into specific groups. If considering integer partitions, 42 can be expressed as a sum of positive integers in 1,164 distinct ways. If you're asking about dividing 42 into equal parts or groups, the answer would depend on the number of parts desired, such as dividing it into 2, 3, or more groups. Please clarify for a more specific answer!
