I am not a programmer so my solutions probably are not good but you can try until someone experienced replies..

I 'll try to answer partially..

First of all, as far as I know you can NOT return more than one thing..

Probably if you want to return 5 numbers a nice way to do it is to return an array[].


Now for your first question..

You can create an array[5] (which means the places are numbered from 0 to 4... array[0] - array[4])

Let's say that the number you want to split(you said divide) into 5 numbers is the number 25..

You run a loop to 0 to 4 like this..

array[0]=1
array[1]=2
array[2]=3
array[3]=4
array[4]=5

after that you run the loop in the opposite from 4 to 0 by adding just one in each place like this..

array[4]=array[4]+1
array[3]=array[3]+1
array[2]=array[2]+1
array[1]=array[1]+1
array[0]=array[0]+1

This way you will always have 5 different numbers but almost all of them will be different only by 1..

The above is just an example and not real code.. Of course you have to add a few checks during the procedure.


The would be a more sophisticated way by using functions to create random numbers between a specific range and check if there is a same number in the array etc..


Tell me if this helps and probably more experienced will reply!
Cheers!

Hello ak,

I want to divide a number in 5 diferent numbers.Your function returns 5 igual numbers. 

e.g. 100 = 25+25+50+50+50 or 100= 10 + 10 + 50 + 10 + 5 + 5  

Hello  gspot38,

Hello,

that's great to hear!
