All the possible solutions of this questions are the factors of 18.
Since 18 = 2*3*3 we have the following answers:
There are 2 children sitting around the table having 18/2 = 9 cookies each.
There are 3 children sitting around the table having 18/3 = 6 cookies each.
There are 2*3 = 6 children sitting around the table having 18/6 = 3 cookies each.
There are 3*3 = 9 children sitting around the table having 18/9 = 2 cookies each.
There are 2*3*3 = 18 children sitting around the table having 18/18 = 1 cookie each.
