There are many reasons why cells divide. Here are some of them:
* Growth - More cells=bigger organism * Repair - Colon and skin cells, for example, have to be constantly replaced as they are scraped off
homologous
The cells divide into two daughter cells, to make way for replication.
Larger cells divide because they have reached their maximum size to efficiently carry out cellular processes, such as obtaining nutrients and removing waste. Dividing allows the cell to maintain a proper surface area to volume ratio for effective exchange of materials with its environment.
That's about the only way they divide I believe.

Cells that undergo mitosis include somatic cells in the body, such as skin cells, blood cells, and muscle cells. Germ cells, which give rise to egg and sperm cells, also undergo mitosis. Additionally, unicellular organisms like yeast divide via mitosis.
There are numerous reasons why cells divide. If someone skins their leg, for example, cells will divide for the purpose of replacing cells that have been damaged.
Binary Fission is the process by which prokaryotic cells divide
If cells do not divide properly, then many problems can occur, cancer cells for example.
cells divide because of: -growth -development -repair
Nerve cells, also known as neurons, do not divide.
