GCFs is the plural of GCF, which stands for greatest common factor—the largest number that divides evenly into two or more numbers.
In finding the GCF of 12 and 18, you'd identify 6.
The term belongs to elementary mathematics education, where students learn to find GCFs before working with fractions.
Also called greatest common divisor (GCD).
