Let the other number be x.

Given that the GCF of 27 and x is 9, we can write:
27 = 9 * 3
x = 9 * y, where y is an integer

Given that the LCM of 27 and x is 54, we can write:
54 = 27 * 2 = 9 * 3 * 2 = 9 * 6

Since the LCM is the product of the two numbers divided by their GCF, we have:
27 * x / 9 = 54
27 * 9 * y / 9 = 54
27y = 54
y = 2

Therefore, the other number is x = 9 * 2 = 18.

Calculation:

Let the other number be x.

- GCF (9) = 9
- LCM (54) = 9 - x
- LCM / GCF = x

Substituting the given values:

```
54 / 9 = x
x = 6
```

Therefore, the other number is 6.
