It's easy to fold a piece of paper in half once, twice or even three or four times. But what's the highest number of times one piece of paper can be folded in half?
A common claim states that a sheet of paper cannot be folded in half more than seven times. But is this true? How many times can you fold a piece of paper?
Gallivan didn't just set a world record; she also came up with equations to calculate how many times any piece of paper can be folded in half in a single direction or multiple directions. She detailed these equations in her book"How to Fold Paper in Half Twelve Times " . The equations that Gallivan came up with calculated how many times a sheet of paper could be folded. She found that in order to fold a piece of paper in half many times, a long thin sheet is needed — the more a sheet is folded, the thicker the resulting stack becomes, and once the stack becomes thicker than it is long, there is nothing left to fold.
