Try drawing a simple picture of a square, cut at where the folds will be, and you should see, each folded corner will match one quarter of the original square shape, in that the touching surface of each folded corner, an upper and a lower surface, makes ONE quarter of the square. Exactly half of each quarter of the square is folded, and there are four of these corners in the original unfolded square. That is one quarter of the original square gets folded.
