Is there any way to find max of number field from child object having look up relationship

I have a custom child object "Child__c" which is having a "Leg__c" field of type number(2,0), "Child__c" is related to parent object "Parent__c" through look up relationship.
Ex : "Parent__c" is having 6 "Child__c" with following leg
Child001    1
Child002    6
Child003    5
Child004    4
Child005    7
Child006    3
There is a field "Max_Leg__c" on "parent__c" .I need to find the max value of "Leg__c" from child object so that means my  
Max_Leg__c should be 7 on parent object.
Can we achieve it using configuration?

you create a master-detail relationship between object and use Rollup summary fields. This is the out of the box solutions.

Please look at here.

It is not possible with just configuration, unless you convert the look up to a master detail, and then use a roll up summary field.

Thanks Pawan & Steven for quick response
I can't change the relationship between these 2 objects.

If you do not want to change the relationship then you have to go with trigger or app exchange solution(the free one). Please refer below one which can easily solve your problem.
