Hello!

To solve this you have to find what the biggest number that each number can be divided by

You can do this by listing the multiples of the smallest number

The multiples of 6 are

1, 2, 3, 6

Now you look and see what the biggest number 18 and 15 can be divided by evenly

15 can't be divided by 6 so it is not 6

All three numbers can be divided by 3 so this is the answer

The answer is 3

Hope this helps!
