A factor that two or more numbers share is known as a common factor.
five eighths is the lowest term. You now this because the two numbers only share the factor of 1, and if 1 is the only shared factor the fraction is at it's lowest term.
is known as the greatest common factor, or GCF.
The numerical factor of a term is called the "coefficient."In algebra, coefficients are those numbers that are listed o front of a variable such as 'a' or 'b.' For instance, the algebraic term 7xy has the value seven as its coefficient.Cheers!
The least common factor is a term often mistakenly given to either the greatest common factor (GCF) or the least common multiple (LCM). This term is not often used because it does not describe a useful relationship between numbers. Since 1 evenly divides all integers, 1 is technically the least common factor for any set of integers.5 and 13 are relatively prime, which means that they share no factors aside from 1.

That's the greatest common factor, or GCF.

A whole number that is a factor of two or more nonzero whole numbers is a common factorThis would be called a common factor.common factor.a common factor
The greatest common factor between two numbers. There is no term.
common denominator The largest factor that two (or more) numbers have in common is known as the "greatest common factor" in the United States, abbreviated as GCF, or the "highest common factor" in Europe, abbreviated as HCF. Occasionally, the term "divisor" is substituted for "factor".
Every natural number has factors. A factor is any number that will evenly (or wholly) divide the first number leaving no "remainder". So 5 is a factor of 10, because 10 divided by 5 is exactly 2 with nothing left over. A "common factor" is any factor that two or more numbers share in common. So 8 and 12 have a common factor of 4, that is, they both have 4 as a factor. The numbers, 24, 18, 15, and 21 possess a common factor of 3. The "greatest common factor" is the largest such factor that two numbers share in common. For example: given the two numbers 12 and 6, which have common factors of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6, the greatest (or 'highest') common factor is 6. NOTE: A single number in itself cannot have a "common" factor, even though, as stated, it has factors of itself. The term "common" means that more than one number must be involved so that a comparison of factors can be made between the numbers to see what factor is common to all/both.
It is not possible to give a sensible answer to this question. The term "common factor" refers to a factor that is COMMON to two or more numbers. You have only one number in the question!
One word would be "common" as in "greatest common factor" or "least common multiple".
Actually, both can be true, but the answer your teacher is probably looking for is "greatest."
