When a wire of resistance R is divided into 'n' equal parts, the resistance of each part is R/n. When 'n' such resistors are connected in parallel, the equivalent resistance is R_equivalent = (Resistance of one part) / n.
A wire of resistance R Ω is cut into ten equal parts, which are then joined in parallel. The new resistance is
