There are four quarters to a section, and each quarter also has four quarters in the US land survey system. So you could say there are 16 quarters. For example, if you came across a land plot description that looked like this: Sec. 32, NW 1/4 SW 1/4, you would read it thusly: "The northwest quarter of the southwest quarter of section 32."

There are 160 acres in a section of land, so if you divide that by 40 acres (the size of a quarter), you get 4 quarters in a section of land.
