basically GCF is like LCM but you only take the prime factors that repeat
so GCF of 45 and 81
45= 3* 3 * 5
81 = 3 * 3* 3 *3
only 3 and a 3 repeat here, so GCF = 3 *3 = 9

Right !
You can take the common factors out. Hence the name Greatest common factor.
GCF is the largest number that can be used to divide all the numbers(given in the questions) which results in an integer as the quotient.
Hope this helps
