Let BC be a given segment to be divided into N equal parts. Draw any line through B at a positive angle to BC. Measure on that line equal segments BB1, B1B2, ..., BN-1BN. Join BN to C and through the rest of points B draw the lines parallel to BNC. They will cross BC in the points dividing BC into N equal parts.
