What is this question asking? Can't you just take 500, 500 and have a product of 250000>368 or something?

I was trying to answer the guy who said 250000>368

Mr Yovan - 4 years, 11 months ago

Yeah but before it was edited it said something like find the maximum possible product where all the numbers were integers. Now that the question has been edited, I can see what it's asking.
