In bookmaking, the quarto sheet would be folded twice. This is to create four "leaves".

A book made with this method will normally be eight pages.
These days it is more commonly used with pamphlets.

What is the formula to determine how many sides when a piece of paper is folded in half repeatedly?

If by sides you refer to the number of paper slices you can hold then the formula is this: assuming that when the paper has not been folded, the number of times folded is equal zero then the equation is: 2x, where x is the number of times folded. for example if the paper has been folded four times the number of sides is: 24 = 16
