To split a number in two, we just need to divide it by 2.
To divide, we can separate the number by each order of magnitude.
[tex]13955=10000+3000+900+50+5[/tex]You can divide each number individually and sum the results.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{13955}{2}=\frac{10000}{2}+\frac{3000}{2}+\frac{900}{2}+\frac{50}{2}+\frac{5}{2} \\ \frac{13955}{2}=5000+1500+450+25+2.5 \\ \frac{13955}{2}=6977.5 \end{gathered}[/tex]And this is our result. 13,955 divided by 2 is 6,977.5
