Look at MAX and LARGE in the help file.

picking largest number
 

use =MAX()

=MAX(A:A) if down a column or =MAX(1:1) if in a row.

If data is real numbers, then just normal Enter, eg in B1: =MAX(A1:A10)
If data is text numbers or a mix of text/real numbers,
then array Enter* in B1: =MAX(A1:A10+0)
*press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to confirm the formula
Any good? hit the YES below

You can use,
=Large(your range of number here, 1)
replace your range of number here with your actual range (row and/or column)
You can check the large function under help
