No single number has a common difference. You presented a list of numbers appearing to be a sequence. You could ask, "does this sequence of numbers have a common difference". If this is the question you want to ask, then you can compute the differences between each pair of neighboring terms and find for yourself; that the differences are the same or they are different.
