Divide and Conquer

Divide and Conquer is a problem-solving strategy that breaks a large, complex problem into smaller, independently solvable sub-problems, solves each sub-problem, and then combines the solutions. Originating in algorithm design (where it underlies merge sort, quicksort, and binary search), the principle extends to project management, strategic planning, and any domain where complexity makes direct attack impractical.
