"Function Name"

Is there a common mathematical name for the following function?

f:{2,4,6,8,...} --> {1,3,5,7,...}

f(n) = m, where n = m*2^k for some k>0.

Call it G.O.F., or the greatest odd factor. This function should have a name as it is useful, but otherwise, I have no clue.

This is called the odd part of n.
