Q. when there are more than 2 teacheres, I want to create a row by splitting based on "," and divide the value of the INTERVAL_DAYS field by the number of teachers to add. I thought it had a similar structure to the compare_date function you helped and tried to apply it, but the desired output did not come out, so I had to raise an additional question.

The final thing you want to get is the sum of interval days for each Teacher.

   Teacher     WORKING_COUNTS
0        A             2
1        B          0.36
2        C          1.03
3        D          0.02
4        E          1.16

First split value by , and use DataFrame.explode, divide rows by counts by GroupBy.transform and last aggrgate sum:

df = df.assign(Teacher = df['Teacher'].str.split(', ')).explode('Teacher')
df['INTERVAL_DAYS'] /= df.groupby(level=0)['INTERVAL_DAYS'].transform('size')
print (df)
