dividing up
Parceling among recipients
Dividing up is splitting something into portions or shares, typically among multiple recipients.
You divide up tasks among team members, divide up an estate among heirs, or divide up pizza among hungry guests.
The phrase emphasizes distribution rather than mere separation—there's usually an implied "among" that follows.
