Question 1134112: Please help me with this! My math problem asks to add any amount of positive numbers with the sum of 25. It then asks the product of those numbers, and the goal is to have the largest possible product. The highest product I found so far is 8,748, and the numbers I used are 4+3+3+3+3+3+3+3 (these numbers add up to 25 but multiply to 8,748). I was told there was a larger possible product. I have tried other sets but nothing I have found so far is higher.
