Answer:

  5

Step-by-step explanation:

The integers 5 and 5 sum to 10 and have the largest possible product.

___

The two numbers will be x and (10-x). Their product is x(10-x), which describes a downward-opening parabola with zeros at x=0 and x=10. The maximum (vertex) of that parabola is halfway between the zeros, at x=5. Both integers have the same value: 5. Their product is 25.

If there is a requirement the integers be distinct, then 6 and 4 are the integers of choice. Their product is 24.
