A problem of optimum guillotine cutting of a rectangle into smaller equal rectangles is considered. The main decomposition theorem for this problem is proved. The method of continued fractions is used for decreasing the number of problem parameters. A fast algorithm for solving the problem based on this result is presented. A numerical example is given.
