Usage Note

Frazionare means to divide something into fractions or smaller parts, often used in financial (frazionare un pagamento — to split a payment) and real-estate (frazionare un appartamento — to divide a flat into smaller units) contexts. It is transitive and takes avere. It is more formal than the everyday dividere.

Examples

"Hanno deciso di frazionare il pagamento in rate."
