Answer:

4096

Explanation:

To get the highest answer, you must divide 128 by 2

128/2=64

Then you multiply it by each other.

64*64=4096

PROOF:

We know this is the largest because 128*1 is not the largest number as it is unbalanced. We need the most balanced answer. What is more balanced then 128/2?

Sorry if formatting is weird, first time answering questions
