Okay, so ...

the more pieces there are, the smaller the pieces. So first, imagine big pie. Imagine there being eight pieces. Then, imagine another pie with 14 pieces. See a size difference? Less pieces would mean bigger pieces. Imagine yet another pie cut into 2 pieces. See how big the pie pieces are compared to the pies cut into eights and twelfths?
