Problem Statement

Define the digital reduction of a two-digit positive integer AB\underline{AB} to be the quantity ABAB\underline{AB} - A - B. Find the greatest common divisor of the digital reductions of all the two-digit positive integers. (For example, the digital reduction of 6262 is 6262=54.62 - 6 - 2 = 54.)
