M, T and G say that to make the greatest possible total you need to "multiply all the numbers together but not one" Multiplying all of the numbers 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 together generate a total of 720.
2 x 3 = 6
6 x 4 = 24
24 x 5 = 120
120 x 6 = 720
If you add one to your total you get a total of 721.
720 + 1 = 721
M, T and G said that you add one to make the biggest total, because if you multiplied your total by one then your answer of 720 wouldn't change.
