Equidivision

/ˌɛkwɪdɪˈvɪʒən/ noun

Definition

The act of dividing something into equal parts or the result of such a division.

Etymology

From Latin 'aequus' (equal) + 'divisio' (division). A mathematical and practical term for fair splitting or partitioning.

Kelly Says

Fair division problems in mathematics—like the 'cake-cutting' problem where everyone wants equal pieces—are really about equidivision, and mathematicians have proven you can always fairly divide anything (like land or resources) among any number of people.
