During most of the 19th century, the Ottoman Empire stretched from Egypt to the borders of Persia, from what today is Bosnia and Macedonia almost to the Port of Aden on the southern edge of the Arabian Peninsula. The Ottoman Empire was the remnants of the original domain of Saladin and the caliphates of Constantinople at the height of the Muslim expansion. It has included such territories as Epirus and Crete, Cyprus, Egypt and Sudan, a significant part of North Africa, and the Arabian Peninsula, during some portion of its existence. Today, it's best represented by Turkey, the central portion of the Ottoman Empire, and the home of the Empire's capital, Constantinople, now Istanbul. It covers the "hinge" between Europe, Asia, and Africa, and has included bits and pieces of all three continents at one time or another.

∙ 11y agoThe question as phrased is difficult to answer since the term "divided into" typically requires an outside, third party that carves up the territory of the Empire. The only territories removed in such a way were the British and French Mandates in the Middle East which became the modern countries of Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Kuwait.
The Ottoman territories that were in Europe were either taken back by European Empires or declared independence and fought wars to secure their sovereignty. Therefore, the Ottoman Empire was not "divided".
However a list of Modern-European countries that were controlled at some point by the Ottoman Empire are below.
>25% Austria, Slovakia, Ukraine, Russia
25-50% Croatia, Slovenia
50-100% Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Greece, Romania, Moldova, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Turkey.
