gcd between three numbers?

I know how to compute the gcd between two numbers, but I don't know a
simple way to compute the gcd between three numbers. Is there an easy
way?

Mathematically, you have that gcd(a,b,c) == gcd(gcd(a,b),c). In Sage,
you can just do one of the following:

sage: gcd(6,12,24)
6
sage: gcd([6,12,24])
6

Thanks. It seems so obvious, now.
