Profit is max. when "Marginal Revenue=Marginal Cost". Can anybody tell me why is it so?

Quick Summary
This discussion explores the fundamental economic principle that profit is maximised when a firm's Marginal Revenue (MR) equals its Marginal Cost (MC). Participants explain that producing more units when MR exceeds MC allows firms to leverage fixed costs, ultimately leading to higher profits. The conversation clarifies the meaning of 'marginal' as 'additional' and seeks a mathematical proof for this profit-maximisation condition.
In the case where Marginal (additional) Revenvue is equal to Marginal cost, then the organization can enjoy it's leverage in fixed costs by producing some more units,this will result in profit maximization
