Find the prime factorization of each:

136 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 17

204 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 17

340 = 2 x 2 x 5 x 17

Chose the highest number of times each factor is found in each number:

2 is found at least twice in each number, 17 is found at least once in each number.

Multiplify these factors 2 x 2 x 17 (Use 2 twice because it's found twice, use 17 only once.)
