My solution for Matt Parker's Maths Puzzles no.9

Open part of the puzzle

Considering all the refections and rotacions of the starting triangle, we can represent the starting three numbers such that

a ≤ a + b ≤ a + b + c,
a, b, c ∈ Z.

Grouping starting numbers like this, iterating the procedure, the sum of numbers will tend to

2 · GCF (b, c) ,

where GCF() gives the greatest common factor.
