  CIPHER TYPE:     EUCLIDEAN-ALGORITHM
  SECURITY LEVEL:  7/7

  STATUS:          [ACTIVE — AWAITING DECRYPTION]


  MISSION BRIEFING
  ----------------
Euclid's algorithm finds the GCD of two numbers through repeated division. Given a = 144 and b = 60, run the Euclidean algorithm and count the number of division steps. Steps mod 26 → letter.

  INTERCEPTED DATA
  ----------------





> a:
  144



> b:
  60



> hint:
  While b ≠ 0: (a, b) = (b, a % b). Starting from (144, 60), it takes 3 steps. 3 % 26 = 3 → 'd'.



> answer format:
  single lowercase letter
