Solution Steps

Step 1: Round Each Number

First, we round each number to have only one nonzero digit.

  • Round 2888 to 3000 (since 2888 is closer to 3000 than to 2000).
  • Round 56 to 60 (since 56 is closer to 60 than to 50).
Step 2: Perform the Division

Now, divide the rounded numbers:

\[ 3000 \div 60 = 50 \]

Final Answer

The estimated result of \(2888 \div 56\) is \(\boxed{50}\).
