It can be confusing.

England, Scotland & Wales are separate countries. Because they all form part of a mainland, this mainland is called Great Britain (also includes the territorial islands and the Scilly Isles).

Britain is just England and Wales.

The United Kingdom is Great Britain & Northern Ireland.- also includes the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.

The British Isles is the United Kingdom plus Southern Ireland

There is a very formal title for the United Kingdom which is 'The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.'
