Suppose we know how to cut a square into smaller squares. If we take one of the square "pieces" and cut it onto four smaller squares (as in the picture above for ). Now we have cut our original square into pieces. Since we know how to cut a square into 4 pieces, we can cut it into pieces. Similarly, starting with 6 pieces we can get pieces, and from 8 pieces pieces. Hence we can get any number of pieces bigger or equal to 6.
