how to divide purple coneflowers

Hello,

Found you surfing the web...

I can find a lot of info on when to divide Purple coneflowers, but not HOW.

I dug up a rather large one from my garden.

However, it was a really glob of roots and dirt...

I wasn't sure if I should just divide as a hosta, where you take a shovel w/
straight edge and chop it?  It seemed that there was a lot of wasted material
when I got done w/ the process.  Seems that some had minor roots while others
had a glob of root and one that looked like the main root.

Thoughts?

Thank you
Terry Thomas
