The efficiency (factors) [extinction, scattering, and absorption] are their corresponding, normalized cross sections, that is, the cross section divided by the cross-sectional area of the particle.
For instance, the extinction efficiency = (extinction cross section)/(cross-sectional area)
For further reference, please see “Absorption and Scattering of Light by Small Particles” by C.F. Borhen and D.R. Huffman, Wiley-VHC, 2004, pg. 71-72.
A better understanding about efficiency can be understood from page 341 of Absorption and Scattering of Light by Small Particles” by C.F. Borhen and D.R. Huffman, Wiley-VHC, 2004
