Depends on type : If taking calcium carbonate, best taken with food. If calcium citrate, can be taken on an empty stomache.

Divided doses: Hi. Calcium is best absorbed if it's taken in divided doses throughout the day (usually 2-3 times/day). Make sure you're getting enough vitamin D too...it augments calcium absorption.
