divided up

Parceled into shares

Divided up means separated into portions or shares and distributed.

The "up" adds a sense of completion or thoroughness to the division: We divided up the pizza among the kids, The estate was divided up between the heirs.

Interchangeable with "divided" in most contexts, though "divided up" emphasizes the process of parceling out rather than mere separation.
