I think correct sentence shoul be -

"Leisure time in this survey has been divided into six different subjects."

Something can be divided into different things. For example, "The cake has been divided into six pieces."

Anything can also divide some other thing. For example, "The knife has divided the apple into two different parts."

"divided to" isn't right (not in the sense you're using it). It should be "divided into".
