trace the circle on to a piece of paper and cut the circle out.... then fold it in half so that it matches up around the circumference. do this once and you have two even parts, do it again and you have four even parts......

With a pair of compasses, put the point anywhere on the circumference of the main circle, and draw a smaller circle.
Draw another small circle, of the same size as the previous one, by putting the point somewhere else on the circumference of the main circle. Make sure that the second circle you draw intersects the first circle in two places.
Draw a straight line connect the two points where the smaller circles intersect. This line will divide the main circle into 2 parts.
No need to do any measurements!

Yopu need a pair of compasses. measure the diameter of the circle and set the compass to half so that is the radius. then from any point on th circumference draw an arc through the centre of the circle. do the same again from a different part of the circumference, where the two lines cross that is the centre. Then with a rulr draw a line through the centre then you have two equal parts

This is easy. Set your compass to the circle's radius. This distance is the exact length of the side of a Hexagon which fits perfectly within the circle. So every other point of the hexagon would be a third. So by "walking" the tips of your compass around the circle, you move one third of the circle. So use the compass to draw the circle. Then keeping the drawing tip in place, put the point on the edge as well. Swing the drawing tip to the other spot it can touch, while keeping the point in contact with the edge. You have a third of the circle between the two marks. Repeat from each mark.

Using a right angle: (drafting instrument) draw a square around the circle. Draw diagonal lines from each corner of the square through the circle. Then using a ruler on one side and the sides, draw lines through the circle for selected increments.
Could work:

Use a compass. Stick the point anywhere on the circle, open compass just bigger than the diameter and swivel it round. Making a mark on the circle were the pencil touches, move the point to that spot and repeat. You should be back to the spot were you started. Using a ruler, join the marks up. Simple heh.

Draw a line say for example 6 inches. Devide it in the middle at.2.5 inches and put a dot there then draw the same line perpendicular to the previous line down the 2.5 inch mark meaning vertically and then draw a circle around them. It will be equal on all sides.

get the circum.of the circle,thats mark a point and measure all the way round back to the original point,get a calculator,take the size you get and divide it by 360 then press multiply twice and whatever degree youwant,ie x x 90 then 180,270 and back to start point 360/0 that will give you 4 sections and thats that .

take a length equal to the radius of the circle on a compass. cut arcs starting from any point such that the arc should be cut with the compass kept at the point where the previous arc cuts the circle

how many? if it's 2 equal parts divide it in half, 4 equal parts cut it like a squre, 3 equal parts make it like a peace sign, and you should be good.
