No, it cannot. The LCM (least common multiple) is the lowest number that both numbers go into evenly. Since 17 cannot to into any number lower than itself, the LCM must be larger than 17.
In this case, the least common multiple of 9 and 17 is 153.

No. A common multiple is a multiple of both numbers. There is no multiple of 17 that is less than 17.
The LCM is never less than the greatest number in the set. The LCM of 4 and 9 is 36.
No.
To find a number less than 100 that is divisible by 2, 5, and 9, we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of these three numbers. The LCM of 2, 5, and 9 is 90. Therefore, the number less than 100 that is divisible by 2, 5, and 9 is 90.
The LCM of 9, 17, and 51 is 153
