Great Britain is the largest island;wikipedia says:"The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (commonly known as the United Kingdom, the UK, or Britain) is a country to the northwest of mainland Europe. It comprises the island of Great Britain, the northeast part of the island of Ireland and many small islands. Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK with a land border, sharing it with the Republic of Ireland. Apart from this land border, the UK is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, the North Sea, the English Channel and the Irish Sea. The largest island, Great Britain, is linked to France by the Channel Tunnel.

The United Kingdom is a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy comprising four constituent countries—England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales—with Elizabeth II as head of state. The Crown Dependencies of the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, formally possessions of the Crown, are not part of the UK but form a federacy with it. The UK has fourteen overseas territories,all remnants of the British Empire, which at its height encompassed almost a quarter of the world's land surface. It is a developed country, with the fifth largest economy in the world by nominal GDP."

No, the full title of the UK is "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland". So Britain doesn't include one of the four territories of the UK. However, normally the terms are used interchangeably. Northern Ireland has some unusual laws (e.g. People born there can either elect to have a British passport or an Irish passport.)
