Partitioning Rectangles

Rows go left and right.

Common 1

 

Columns go up and down.

Common 2

 

The partition lines for both, rows and columns, should be the same distance apart in order to have same-sized squares.

 

For example:

 

Common 3

 

This rectangle is divided into 3 equal rows and 4 equal columns.

 

Common 4


By dividing the rectangle into 3 equal rows and 4 equal columns, we get 12 same-sized squares.
