Explanation
Divide means to separate something into parts or sections. For example, a teacher might divide a class into groups for an activity, or you may divide a bread into slices to share with friends. In mathematics, divide means finding out how many times one number goes into another (like 10 divided by 2 equals 5). As a verb, it can also mean causing separation between people, such as when arguments divide friends. As a noun, it sometimes refers to a separation between areas, like “the divide between two countries”.
