Default splitting a number into two cells from one

I would like to know how to split ie 123456789 in cell A1 to 123 in B1, and
456789 in C1. Is there a formula that can do this for me?


=LEFT(A1,3) in B1
=RIGHT(A1,6) in C1

Another option is Data/ Text to Columns, & choose fixed width accordingly
