A method and a device for operating an internal combustion engine including a plurality of cylinders, determine whether a torque of the internal combustion engine is above a torque threshold value. If the torque is less than the torque threshold value, all the cylinders of the engine are operated in a lean operating state. If the torque is greater than or equal to the torque threshold value, a first number of cylinders of the engine is operated in a homogeneous operating state, and the remaining cylinders of the engine are operated in the lean operating state. |
