Oh honey, no. The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of two numbers is the largest number that divides both of them evenly. It's not just the lesser of the two numbers, it's the biggest number that can play nice with both of them. So, don't sell the GCF short, it's got a big job to do.

No, the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of two numbers is not necessarily equal to the lesser of the two numbers. The GCF is the largest positive integer that divides both numbers without leaving a remainder. It is possible for the GCF to be equal to the lesser number if the lesser number is a factor of the greater number, but this is not always the case.

Only if that number is a factor of the other one.
