I think you're right and the teacher is wrong.

according to:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_common_multiple
you can find the LCM of these numbers by breaking them down into thier mulitiples:
3= 3^1
9= 3^2
22 = 2^1 * 11^1
to find the Least common multiple we multiply each of the prime numbers with the largest exponent in this case:
3^2 * 2^1 * 11^1 = 9 * 22 = 198
You are correct and your teacher is wrong.
be sure to read the reference to see all of the different ways you can get the LCM.
Hope this helps!
