The answer

If the deceased's heirs are limited to those mentioned, his wife receives one-eighth due to the presence of a lineal descendant, based on the Almighty's saying: {But if you have a child, then for them is one eighth of what you leave}, which is 125,000.

The remainder is to be divided among the children by ta'sib (agnatic inheritance), with the male receiving the share of two females. Each daughter receives 97,222 and more, and each son receives 194,444 and more, based on the Almighty's saying: {Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females}.
