When you divide something into two equal parts you are halving it. This process is often used to teach fractions in school.
The number of equal parts in a whole depends on how the whole is divided. If the whole is divided into halves, there are 2 equal parts. If divided into thirds, there are 3 equal parts, and so on. In general, the number of equal parts in a whole is determined by the denominator of the fraction used to represent the parts.
