Amortization expense related to purchased and other intangible assets was $101.8 million and $304.7 million for the three and nine months ended August 30, 2019, respectively. Comparatively, amortization expense related to purchased and other intangible assets was $47.0 million and $115.5 million for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2018, respectively. Of these amounts, $58.8 million and $172.2 million were included in cost of sales for the three and nine months ended August 30, 2019, respectively, and $23.1 million and $57.1 million were included in cost of sales for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2018, respectively.

During the nine months ended August 30, 2019, certain purchased intangibles associated with our acquisitions became fully amortized and were removed from the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
