Making quadrants in a circle using pathfinder and filling each quadrant with different colours

[Aurora1996]

How do I divide a circle into 4 equal parts using pathfinder , with each part having different colours?

[Doug A Roberts]

Draw lines horizontally and vertically through the circle's centre, select everything and click Divide.

[Aurora1996]

Using the pen tool right? How do I give different colours for each part?

Do you know how to apply colours to objects in Illustrator?

Your question was quite specific so I assumed you were not a complete beginner.

I am a complete beginner. I'm just having trouble filling colours for each quadrant, in the BMW logo which I am trying to recreate.

It's a good idea to start with the help pages then.

You could also use the Pie Graph Tool.

Use Live Paint instead of pathfinder.

It's editable and on top of that the process is far more fluent.

Or use an Ellipse, change the Pie angle to 90 degrees, add additional fills and rotate them with the Transform Effect.
