"sich teilen" (sich = reflexive pronoun) would usually mean to "split up / devide into", for example of a group: Die Bevölkerung hat sich in Befürworter und Gegener des Brexit geteilt. (present perfect)
Or of a living cell: Die Zelle teilte sich nach kurzer Zeit.

@Krokodilo Hmm... I don't completely understand the difference. Is it if you don't use "mit" you have to use "sich"? Or does one refer to dividing something into separate pieces and the other refers to multiple people using something without it being separated or split?
