Factors of $${\mathtt{89}}$$: $${\mathtt{1}}$$ , $${\mathtt{89}}$$

 

Factors of $${\mathtt{113}}$$: $${\mathtt{1}}$$ , $${\mathtt{113}}$$

 

Factors of $${\mathtt{73}}$$: $${\mathtt{1}}$$ , $${\mathtt{73}}$$

 

The number they all have in common is $${\mathtt{1}}$$ which means the greatest common factor of $${\mathtt{89}}$$, $${\mathtt{113}}$$, and $${\mathtt{73}}$$ is $${\mathtt{1}}$$.
