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.
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.
Four parallel lines through it.
