Can anyone check my code? I’m getting correct output, no idea why it says W/A.

It’s Python 3.5, I’m new user can’t ask question.

Hi Ruhul!!

The problem with your code is that the variable mark stores the gcd of only the last two numbers of the array.
whereas it should store the gcd of all the numbers.
Let the array be 2,4,8,12. The variable mark stores gcd(8,12) =4. When the last loop runs, it checks a[1]%mark==0(2%4==0),this is not true so flag becomes 1 and displays the org array with no change. gcd of all the numbers is 2. mark should store 2. Then your answer will be 1,2,4,6.

what you can do is
initialise cool = gcd(a[1],a[2]); //gcd of first two numbers

then
for ( i=1 to n)
cool=gcd(cool, a[i+1]);

and then your code seems good.

All the best.
Thank you!!
