The GCF of two whole numbers is the . A smallest whole number that divides evenly into both numbers B largest whole number that divides evenly into both numbers C smallest whole number that both numbers divide into evenly D largest whole number that both numbers divide into evenly

Largest whole number that divides evenly into both numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

GCF is greatest common factor. It is also known as LCM of lowest common multiple.

It is the set of whole numbers that divides evenly into all numbers with zero remainder.

For example, three numbers are 8,12 and 20.

The factors of 8 are: 1, 2, 4, 8

The factors of 12 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12

The factors of 20 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20

The GCF of these three numbers is 4. 4 divides evenly into all numbers.

Hence, the correct option is (B).
