EASY WAY TO DIVIDE EVENLY
If you need to divide an item into an even number of segments, there is no need to do mathematical calculations. Take your measuring device and angle it across your work so that it is set on a number divisible by the number of segments you need. Mark accordingly. Example — you have a piece 7-3/4” long and you want 4 segments. Angle your ruler or scale to 12” and mark at 3, 6 and 9. Repeat further down the piece and draw or scribe lines connecting the marks.
