to split
Usage Note
Dividir can mean dividing a physical space, splitting a group, or performing mathematical division (dividir entre dos). The reflexive dividirse means 'to be split' or 'to branch off'. Do not confuse with repartir ('to distribute') — dividir emphasises the act of separation, while repartir emphasises sharing out shares.
