Number Theory

We can use the latter method to compute for the GCD. 

First, we, note that every number is divisble by 2. Taking the two out, we get

\(18, 52, 11254\)

Dividing by 2 again, we get

\(9, 26, 5627\)

 

Unfortunately, there are no more common factors among the remaining 3. 

 

Thus, we have \(2^2 = 4\)

 

So our final answer is 4. 

 

Thanks! :)
