Default Any function to determine the smallest common factor from a list?

Does anyone know any build-in feature in excel to determine the smallest /
largest common factor from a list of values?
such as
3
6
12, then the smallest common factor will be 3

Thank for any suggestion
Eric

..the smallest / largest common factor from a list of values?

=GCD(3,6,12)
3

Returns the greatest common divisor of two or more integers.
See LCM also.

And although not mentioned... generally the smallest common factor is
1, which doesn't really need a formula. :-)
