The answer

If the heirs are limited to those mentioned, the deceased's estate is distributed as follows: The mother receives one-sixth due to the presence of siblings. What remains after the mother's share goes to the siblings by way of ta'sib (residuary heirship), with the male receiving twice the share of the female. There is nothing for the two grandmothers because they are excluded by the mother, a total exclusion. It is recommended for the heirs to provide for them from the estate before distribution. The original denominator for the estate is six, and it can be corrected to forty-eight; the mother takes eight shares, each full brother takes ten shares, and each full sister takes five shares.
