多and来 are basically the same, but 来 must be followed by a quantifier, 十来个, 一百来个.
左右 = about, 几 = several

多 means “many;much;more”
来 means “come”
左右 means “about;approximately”
几 means “a few;how much”
Individual characters have a wealth of meaning, and I can only say part of the commonly used meaning.
“我们这里还需要多来几个人” “We need a few more people here”
