Is it reasonable to use the terms Greatest Common Factor and Greatest Common Divisor interchangeably ?
Best Answer
Yes. These are exactly the same thing.
You could also use Highest Common Factor or Highest Common Divisor. HCF in particular is taught in various parts of the world (as well as GCD and GCF. I'm not sure about HCD).
