It has the person radical, and on the right there is the percentage character. So, someone SHARES a percentage of something.

there is a person radical on the left and 分钟的分 on the right side. 分 is time measurement. Therefore, it could convey the meaning that someone is sharing their time with you.

since it has the radical for person and 分 as in time, it reminds me that when two people are together, they SHARE time

The left side of the character has the person radical and the right part has what looks like fen 分, which is the measure word for minutes. So I remember it as A SHARE OF time.

The left radical is a person, and the right radical means “partition”, like in 分钟 (partition of clock, i.e. minute)。 If you’re partitioning your time with someone, you’re giving them a SHARE of it.
