Can you please explain jsut a little bit how this works for my understanding?
I can see that it will look under current directory and subdirectories for files with size over 5M..what is -type f do?. I am fairly new to unix...but just some general idea would be fine.
Thanks.

Also it echo all the files in the directory (by splitting) and I know there is only one that is over 5MB. However, if I change the size in find to +5242800c (bytes) then it echo the right file. So what could be wrong with +5M ?

I need to split a file if it is over 2GB in size (or any size), preferably split on the lines. I have figured out how to get the file size using awk, and I can split the file based on the number of lines (which I got with wc -l) but I can't figure out how to connect them together in the script.
