I ended up using an iterative macro that follows the example of Euclid's algorithm from this link:

If there were more types of materials, I would have done this as a nested macro, but simpler here to just use the macro twice.

275!  Have we reached the summit?

Simple if you know how to use the Mod function.  Generated rows and divided by the row count to get Mod = 0 then only took the records that joined and used the Max.

I have one easy solution which was getting the minimum difference between volumes. This makes the assumption that all datasets will have this format.

 

To be more general I created a Python script that checks the GCD for each group of volumes.
