Divide tool in ArcGIS Pro 2.3.2

When using the Divide tool in ArcGIS Pro 2.3.2, I get the error message circled in red in the two images below on all polygons tried. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any insight.

What is the source of the data? File gdb, shapefile, enterprise gdb (if so, what RDBMS?)

How many vertices are in those polygons you're trying to cut? Do you get the same error with all polygons, or only some - what are the differences between the polygons that error out and those that don't?

Have you run Check Geometry on the feature class?

FGDB for the format. Below screenshot shows the vertices for one of the polys. Checked geometry and all is well there. I have had some success splitting horizontally, but not vertically.

Hi Mike, thank you for reporting this, and for including the screen-shots. Using the information that you've provided I was able to replicate the error message.

A work-around is to set your map properties to a projection. I did a quick test and confirmed that once the map is projecting on the fly from the geographic coordinate system of the stored data into a projection, then the Divide works as expected:
