Answer 1

mmm, well it is complicated to explain it here, but i'll try my best

let's say a company is a piece of chocolate.. so you can understand this better... the chocolate is divided in six pieces.... not equal parts, just six pieces... imagine those pieces being shares... now, there are six people who own the company... regardless of how big their slice is.... the six people have a say in company matters.. they are all shareholders....

Answer 2

Shares
Some investors may have large ownership interests in a given corporation, while other investors own a very small part. To keep track of each investor's ownership interest, corporations use a unit of measurement referred to as a "share" (or "share of stock"). The number of shares that an investor owns is printed on the investor's stock certificate.

Corporations issue (or sell) shares of stock to obtain cash from investors, to acquire another company (the new shares are given to the owners of the other company in exchange for their ownership interest), to acquire certain assets or services, and as an incentive/reward for key officers of the corporation.
