How do you play the 5 against 6 polyrhythm in measure 170 in Chopin´s Ballade 1?

How do you play the 5 against 6 polyrhythm in measure 170 in Chopin´s Ballade 1?. Does it have to be played strictly mathematically subdivided?. Thanks

You do it by feeling, it won't be strictly mathematically subdivided because it's suposed to be organic and natural, not mechanical
