maximal number of vs maximum number of

Both of these are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. 'Maximal number of' refers to the largest possible number within a certain set or context, while 'maximum number of' refers to the greatest number allowed or permitted. The choice between the two phrases depends on if you're emphasizing the largest possible number or the limit or restriction on the number.
