    Let me explain it with another pythagorean triple which is 5, 12, 13 which will be 52 + 122 = 132

    Here I give you the divisors of 5: 1, 5

    Now the divisors of 12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12

    And the divisors of 13:1, 13

    So the greatest common divisor is 1

    Here is the proof. I hope this is useful for you
