I understand addition and subtraction and how civilization could utilize those (ex: I want 3 bananas, I am taking away 2 bananas, how many bananas are left, etc) but I’m struggling to find out why/how multiplication and division was discovered. TIA!

I have one apple, and the two of us will share it. we each get half: division and fractions.
you have four oranges. if we share between us, we each get two.
if each of us grabs two pieces of firewood from this pile, the five of us will have ten pieces when we arrive at the kitchen/cooking area.
