Step 1   Since you have asked question with multiple sub-parts, we are answering the first three sub-parts for you as of now. If you wish to get the other sub-parts answered as well, kindly submit the question again and mention the question numbers to be answered.   LCM, or lowest common multiple is the smallest multiple common between 2 numbers.   Step 2   a)   9 and 6   Multiples of 9: 9,18,27,36,45...   Multiples of 6: 6,12,18,24,36,...   18 and 36 both are the common multiples of 6 and 9 but the lowest common multiple, LCM is 18.   Step 3   b)   8 and 14   Multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 80.....   Multiples of 14: 14, 28, 42, 56, 70, ...   Hence the LCM of 8 and 14 is 56.    Step 4   c)   2, 9 and 54   Multiples of 2: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, 52, 54, 56, ...   Multiples of 9 are: 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, ...   Multiples of 54 are: 54, 108, ..   Hence, the LCM of 2, 9 and 54 is 54.
