The Greatest Common Factor (GCF), also called Greatest Common Divisor (GCD), is the largest integer that divides two or more numbers exactly. Used in simplifying fractions, finding common denominators, and solving Diophantine equations.
💡
Pro Tip
To simplify a fraction: divide numerator and denominator by their GCF. 48/18 → GCF=6 → 8/3 (fully simplified).
