  • don't use pictures of your data, paste `dput(head(your_data, 10))` into the question. Please check `tidyverse` and the function `seperate`. – Roman Apr 29 '19 at 13:59

Using tidyverse

library(tidyverse)
df <- tibble(
    gender.age = c("f 46",
                   "f 40",
                   "f 55",
                   "m 52",
                   "f 58",
                   "m 57",
                   "m 27",
                   "m 39")
)

df_2 <- df %>%
    separate("gender.age",
             into = c("gender", "age"),sep = " ")

df_2
