How do I find the gcd of all numbers in a tuple using math.gcd?

from math import gcd
nums = tuple(map(int,input().split()))
# find gcd of numbers in num

I tried the following code

print(gcd(nums))

but "TypeError: ‘tuple’ object cannot be interpreted as an integer" occures.
How can I solve this problem?

>Solution :

gcd takes an arbitrary number of positional args not an iterable, you need to unpack your tuple into positional args when you call it.

print(gcd(*nums))

NOTE: This was added in Python 3.9.

Changed in version 3.9: Added support for an arbitrary number of arguments. Formerly, only two arguments were supported.
