Output with max value from each row of a column

Below table shows my input column and intended output column. For each row, I would like to have the max value as the output in the corresponding column.

There are instances where both values are same (e.g. row 4 in the below table), then the output should be one of the two numbers.

 

Input ColumnRequired Output
2,44
18,1118
1515
10,1010
3,6,77
55

It can be better done in M. Means you have to use Edit Query/data Transformation Mode.

create a custom column like

Required Output
= List.Max(Text.Split([Input Column], ",") )
