Communities and parties, depending on what you are referring to.
Chimpanzee groups that remain the same for long periods of time and in which all members know each other is a community. It's a bit complicated because within the community, individuals will break apart from others---some will "hang out" and travel/feed/sleep together for days at a time and then one or more will leave and travel alone or with a different group. So the community is made up of ever-changing parties, which is what a group of chimps traveling/eating/sleeping/etc together are called.

What is the biggest great ape?
First answer
Gorilla.
Second answer
Of the currently extant species, gorillas are the largest. However, the largest ape to ever walk the earth was the gigantopithecus ("giant ape"). This creature was a relative of the orangutan who, according to estimation, stood at nearly 10 feet tall and weighed 1200 lbs. The estimation is, however, based only on tooth and partial jaw bone evidence. There has never been any skeletal evidence found--such as arms and legs--to determine whether the gigantopithecus was indeed that large. It was most likely bigger than gorillas, though. The largest teeth found are over an inch across!
