The base is the common factor multiplied repeatedly by the exponent.
The index or the exponent - but only if it is a non-negative integer.

The power or exponent.

There is no Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for a single number. The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) is the largest factor common to two or more given numbers.
The base is the repeated factor, the exponent is the number of times by which the base is mutltiplied by itself. The exponent is also known as the power, althought the product of the exponential expression can also be described as the power.
In the notation for powers, e.g. Ab, A is the base (the number which is multiplied by itself) and b is the exponent (the number of times we mutiply it). An Exponent is how many times you get a certain prime number in a factor tree. I don''t remember what a base is.
The GCF of 102 and 104 is 102
The GCF is 15x^3.
The exponent tells how many times the base is used as a factor.
You look at the exponents. x5y2 and x3y4 The greatest common factor of these is the largest exponent of each. So the greatest common factor is: x3y2
