A division of a company that manufactures widgets has been given an annual operating budget of $74,437.00. The factory's operating costs are determined by two factors - overhead fixed costs of $23,415.80 per year, and a cost of $32.08 to produce each widget.

Assuming that the division is constrained by their budget (as in, they cannot exceed their budget), what is the highest number of widgets that the company can produce over the course of the year?
