    Let mass 4m be Z

    F=G (m1 * (Z-m1) / d^2

    Using calculus ...

    dF/dm1=0=G (Z-m1) / d^2 - m1/d^2)

    solving for m1,

    Z-m1-m1=0

    m1=Z/2

    So split into 2m, and2m.

    Now if you don't know the wonderful world of calculus, then plot the following parabola, and see where it is max:

    F=G (m1 * (Z-m1) / d^2

    k=Z (m1) - (m1) ^2
