CMRR = differential gain common-mode gain; a large value means good rejection of unwanted common signals.
An op-amp is meant to amplify only the difference between its two inputs. Any signal that appears equally on both inputs, such as noise or supply hum, is a common-mode signal and should ideally produce no output. The Common Mode Rejection Ratio quantifies this ability: it is the ratio of the differential-mode gain to the common-mode gain . A high CMRR (for the 741 about 90 dB) means the common-mode signal is …
