I know this is not very right place to ask this question, but I found
many beginners visit this forum, and hope that this kind of discussion
will help many visitors of this forum as well as me.

The question is as the subject says. Is it possible? I read someplace
that IIS and Apache can run on the same PC if they use different port
numbers (e.g. IIS - 80, Apache - 8080).   Also I know that Apache and
Tomcat may run on the same machine. But is it possible to run all
three on one machine?  If yes, how should I configure those web-
servers / WAS?

this is a socket problem you can run as many web servers as you like
as long as they do not cross each others paths that means different
port or different cards/ips or both. How to set them up is also a
matter of socket programming usually the ports below 1024 are reserved
for known/registered services like http, ftp, nntp etc, the ports over
1024 are public to be used by any one, the only thing to check is that
there is no other application using the ports you choose eg firebird
or any sql server some logging or heart bit services that might be
unique in your network etc. if you search the net for known tcp ports
you will find a wealth of information on which ports are used by what
eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers

Listen on different ports, you're done. Those 3 are sure possible to
change port they listen to.
