To find out how much each person received, we need to divide the total value of the estate among the people mentioned in the question.

Let's calculate step by step:

1. Find the share for the wife and two sons:
Since the total estate is worth Sh 3456000 and it is shared among the man's wife and two sons, their shares come to one-fourth of the total.

Share for the wife and two sons = (1/4) * Sh 3456000 = Sh 864000

2. Find the remainder share for the six brothers:
The remainder is shared equally among the six brothers. To find each brother's share, we divide the remainder by the number of brothers.

Share for each brother = Remainder / Number of brothers
= (3/4) * Sh 3456000 / 6
= Sh 2592000 / 6
= Sh 432000

Therefore, each brother got Sh 432000, and the wife and two sons received Sh 864000 collectively.
