Calling Linux People: How to breakup large files

I have a big binary file ( 1.5 GB). I want to break this thing up into smaller files, like 3 files of 500mb each, and be able to easily reconstruct it back later to its 1.5 GB form

Anyone know the commands on how to do this... Im hoping I can do this without installing additional software
 
That's not a hardware problem...

I think you would use dd if=inputfile of=outputfile1 size=1024 count=500M
then the same with skip=500M and 1000M. im not sure about size, that might be called something else. Others confirm?
