agree  Donald Scott Alexander: Yes - the "up" in "divided up" is essential here. This sense of something being "doled/given/handed out" can also be seen in the (slang) derived form "divvied up": http://www.wordwebonline.com/en/DIVVYUP

neutral  Donald Scott Alexander: The verb "divide" and the separable verb "divide up" have slightly different meanings. The separable verb "divide up" is more appropriate here.
