answer:

54

Explanation:

find the prime factorization of 27

(27 = 3 × 3 × 3)

find the prime factorization of 54

(54 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 3)

multiply each factor the greater number of times it occurs in steps 1 or 2

above to find the lcm

lcm= 2 × 3 × 3 × 3

lcm = 54

good luck :)

hopefully, this helps

have a good day !!
