The HCF of two numbers is the highest common factor. For example, the highest common factor of 42 and 56 is 14.

Highest common factors can be used for reducing a fraction to its simplest form. Taking the above example, the numerator and denominator of the fraction 42/56 can be divided by 14 to make a fraction 3/4 or three quarters.
