I didn't know there is 'the 6 methods'. Here are some:
Might be divide it to rectangle
It is not possible to answer the question because we have no way of working out what your equal parts are.
Only once, there will only be eights parts however you divide it.
Four parallel lines through it.
16 divided by 4 equals 4
Might be divide it to rectangle
Draw a + then an X.....then you divided a square into 8 equal parts in one way.

Divide the square into five strips.

divide a square into eighths
Only once, there will only be eights parts however you divide it.
Cut it into 3 rectangles.
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.
To divide a square into 20 equal parts, you would first draw two lines parallel to one side of the square, dividing it into three equal parts. Then draw two more lines parallel to another side of the square, also dividing it into three equal parts. This creates a grid of nine smaller squares within the original square. Finally, draw two diagonal lines from opposite corners of the square, intersecting at the center, to create 20 equal parts.
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.
