Understanding the different reports in MDE

Hello, I'm new to working in Microsoft Defender and Endpoint and trying to understand some of the reports. 

If I navigate to Reports - Microsoft 365 security and click on the predefined "Security report" my main questions are under the "Devices" section. 

When I was looking I saw that the report said "Devices with Active Malware" had 1 device with 1 active malware. 


But then there is also a part that says "Malware on devices" and there were like 21 line items

 


However, I can't find any more information about the 21 malware items. They don't tell me the device name. I'm just confused as to what this is.

    You can also view the active malware report for more details.
    1) Sign in to the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center.
    2) Select Endpoint security > Antivirus > Windows 10 active malware tab.
