The algorithm to be used is:
- Sort the set into assentingascending order
- $x_1 = s_1$
- $x_i = gcd(x_{i-1},s_i)$
- $GCD = x_n$
What I'm looking for is expected run time as a function of $\sum_{i\in S}i$
As a starting point $|S| \leq \sum_{i\in S} i$ and gcd is $O(ln(n))$ so an upper bound should be $O(n\ln(n))$.
