Eat one of the apples. Then, give one apple to each person.
Think about it as with apples. If 3 people have 5 apples each, how many apples are there? 3x5 = 15. If, however, no people have 10 apples, there are no people so therefore there are no apples. Similarly, if 3 people have no apples each, there are 0 apples in total. Hope this explains it.
Divide 3 inches in 5 equal parts
To divide a circle into thirteenths, divide it into thirteen equal portions, or pieces.
bisect is to divive into equal parts.
When you divide something into two equal parts you are halving it. This process is often used to teach fractions in school.
give everyone one each and then save one for later...
Cutting them in half.
Cut every apple in 7 equal pieces making it a total of 21 equal pieces. Then give everyone 3 pieces.
You can't actually divide 5 and make it equal 4, however, if you are wondering how to divide 5 items between 4 people, (for example apples) give each of the four people one apple and then cut (divide) the 5th apple into quarters or fourths (1/4) and give each person an additional 1/4 piece. Each person will have an equal portion of 1 1/4 each.
Divide each apple into 5 equal slices. Each kid will then get one slice from each apple = 3/5 of the three apples each.

The word for cutting or dividing something into two equal parts is bisect.
make 60 EQUAL pcs and give 12 pcs to each of the 5 children
Yes, it matters. Division is usually defined in such a way that the remainder must be less than the divisor. Let's look at a simple example. You want to divide 5 apples between 2 people. You might say that the answer is 1, with a remainder of 3; but that means that there are still apples to share (without cutting them into fractional parts). The answer 2, with a remainder of 1, more accurately reflects the fact that you can each person, in this example, can have two whole apples. In general, if the remainder is greater than (or equal to) the divisor, it's an indication that the division was not done correctly.
Cutting any convex polygon twice in such a way that the cuts intersect inside the polygon will divide it into four (not necessarily equal) pieces.
A person could always purchase separate sticks of candy rather than trying to divide a stick into equal pieces. A person could also use a ruler or a scale after cutting the candy stick to make sure all pieces are equal.
There are about 4 small apples, 3 medium apples, or 2 large apples in a pound.
