Prove that    gcd(  gcd(A,B),gcd(B,C),gcd(C,A) )                                 =gcd(A,B,C)

$$\mathrm{Prove}\:\mathrm{that} \\ $$$$\:\:\mathrm{gcd}\left(\:\:\mathrm{gcd}\left(\mathrm{A},\mathrm{B}\right),\mathrm{gcd}\left(\mathrm{B},\mathrm{C}\right),\mathrm{gcd}\left(\mathrm{C},\mathrm{A}\right)\:\right) \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:=\mathrm{gcd}\left(\mathrm{A},\mathrm{B},\mathrm{C}\right) \\ $$

set theory  U∩V=V∩U  U∩U=U  U∩(V∩W)=(U∩V)∩W=U∩V∩W    P_A , P_B , P_C : sets of prime factors  of A, B, C  P_(gcd(A, B)) =P_A ∩P_B     (P_A ∩P_B )∩(P_B ∩P_C )∩(P_A ∩P_C )=  =P_A ∩P_B ∩P_B ∩P_C ∩P_A ∩P_C =  =(P_A ∩P_A )∩(P_B ∩P_B )∩(P_C ∩P_C )=  =P_A ∩P_B ∩P_C =P_(gcd(A, B, C))
