Maximum Value?

Let a 1 , a 2 , a 3 , , a n a_{1},a_{2},a_{3},\ldots,a_{n} be ‘n’ positive integers (not necessarily distinct) such that -

a 1 + a 2 + a 3 + + a n = 16 a_{1}+a_{2}+a_{3}+\ldots+a_{n} = 16

What is the maximum value of a 1 a 2 a 3 a n a_{1}a_{2}a_{3}\ldots a_{n}

Bonus - Generalise your findings for all positive integers.


The answer is 324.
