Of all the possible combinations of positive numbers that sum to 10, which has the largest multiplication? Of all the possible combinations of positive numbers that sum to 10, which has the largest multiplication?

I had also got a clue: it's related to e.

Please help! (I need explanation aswell)

Notice: i said positive not natural so you can use fractions.
Suppose we have $a_1$, $a_2$, $\dotsc$, $a_n$ all positive and summing to $10$. Then by the AM–GM inequality their product is maximized when $a_1 = a_2 = \dotsb = a_n$.  Since for $n \geq 10$ you'd have a product of numbers less than or equal to $1$, you only have to compute $(10/n)^n$ for $1 \leq n \leq 9$ and you find that the maximum occurs for $n=4$ with $2.5^4 = 39.0625$.
You were all wrong actually... i checked with my teacher and the asnwer is e 3.67879441 (10/e) times so: e^(10/e) = 39.5986256
