how many teams of 9 players will there be? explain

5 teams of 10 players. There are 26 teams of 9 players each remaining 5 players. Those 5 will be distributed to 5 teams out of the 26 teams to make 10 players per team.

21 teams ( the remaining number of teams after the distribution of the remaining 5)
