in the equation (aC3H6 + bO2 = cCO2 + dH2O) the stoichiometric indices are?

Is it homework?
2 C3H6 + 9 O2 = 6 CO2 + 6 H2O

the balanced equation is: 2 C3H6 + 9 O2 = 6 CO2 + 6 H2O
However, can you share the process to have this balance?

First check how many CO2 and H2O can be produced with one C3H6.
Easily 3 of each can be found.
Then you count how many O you have. You will find out 9
Oxygen exist as O2 so yo have to multiple each compounds by 2, so you get 2 C3H6 9 O2 6 CO2 and 6 H2O.
