dividing a total into equal parts for some people («shares N equally among K» = N ÷ K; «each friend's share» = one part); in everyday life sharing toys, taking turns, being kind; in class «share your answer with a partner»; in online safety: do not share passwords or your address

### note

«shares N equally among K» is N ÷ K. Trap: «shares with 4 friends» may mean 5 people with the sharer; and «shares 3 with Ben» without «equally» is simply giving: subtract. Fair sharing means equal parts; «share» can also mean using something together, with no numbers.
