The Greatest Common Factor (G.C.F.) of two numbers is the largest number that is a divisor of both. It is sometimes called the Greatest Common Divisor. It can be used to simplify (or reduce) fractions. Don't let the "greatest" in the name fool you - the GCF is no larger than the smallest of the numbers.
