In fiscal 2021, other intangibles increased primarily due to identifiable intangible assets acquired through Workfront and Frame.io, partially offset by certain other intangibles associated with our previous acquisitions that became fully amortized and were removed from the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amortization expense related to other intangibles was $354 million, $367 million and $402 million for fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019 respectively. Of these amounts, $181 million, $205 million and $227 million were included in cost of sales for fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019 respectively. Other intangibles are amortized over their estimated useful lives of 2 to 15 years. As of December 3, 2021, the estimated aggregate amortization expense for each of the five succeeding fiscal years was as follows:
(in millions) |  | Other Intangibles(1)
2022 |  | $ | 398 |
2023 |  | 367 |
2024 |  | 322 |
