Given:
Inheritance: $45,600.00
Heirs: 22

We need to divide the inheritance by 22 so that each heir will have an equal share.

$45,600.00 ÷ 22 = 2,072.73

This is how it's solve using long division:

2072.727 ⇒ rounded up to the nearest hundredths 2,072.73
22 | 45600.00
44↓↓↓ ↓ *22 x 2
160↓ ↓
154↓ ↓ *22 x 7
60 ↓
44 ↓ *22 x 2
16.0
15.4 *22 x 0.70
0.60
0.44 *22 x 0.02
0.160
0.154 *22 x 0.007
0.006
