The condition of cutting full lengths along each dimension and not assembling any parts to form squares, use 80 cm along the long dimension, and 20 cm along the short dimension. This is 80%2A20=1600 square centimeters. Your each-wanted 10 cm side squares are 100 square centimeter. You can cut 16 of them.
