EFC for three kids

I just filled out the FAFSA form, and we have three in college. Previously, we never qualified for aid with the first two and their scholarships. The FAFSA form states that the EFC is 59K. Is that the EFC for just that kid (meaning, each of the three kids will have EFC of 59K)? Or, is that TOTAL, and I can split that number in three. So, the third child goes to a college that costs $40000, there is the potential for $20000 in aid? Will the colleges automatically split that number in three when they look at the FAFSA form when it shows that there are three in college at the same time? Thanks!
