I don't know what it means for a set to have a value or to divide a set
by an interval.  After this first sentence of the explanation, I got
even more confused.  I think you're seriously mixing up terminology.

I think you were trying to make a statement about the measure of a set
of real numbers (and in particular, the measure of an interval).  I
highly recommend that you look up "Borel measure" and/or "Lebesgue
measure" to see how mathematicians approach such questions.
