Answer:

The Greatest Common Factor, the GCF, is the biggest ("greatest") number that will divide into (that is, the largest number that is a factor of) both 2940 and 3150. On the other hand, the Least Common Multiple, the LCM, is the smallest ("least") number that both 2940 and 3150 will divide into.
