Well divide and conquer is pretty common, but you offen use it without even knowing it. I think, that the most famous algorithm using this idea is merge sort.

Here are two another problems:

You have got sequence of integer numbers (positive and negative). Find continuous subsequence with maximum sum in O(n log n). (There exist even better solution, but without D&C)

And harder one: You got n points in the plane. Find two of them with minimum distance also in O(n log n).

Here is the link of the problems based on divide and conquer. Hope it might help…
