Orphan date July 2008 att July 2008 Technical date July 2008 In finance, a pool factor is a number expressed as a factor of one that is used to indicate the remaining principal balance of a note. Pool factors are only used to describe specific classes of securities, namely pooled ABSs and MBSs whose component payments are returned to investors on a monthly basis ref http www.investopedia.com terms p poolfactor.asp Investopedia Pool Factor ref . Pool factors are published monthly for Ginnie Mae , Fannie Mae , and Freddie Mac Mortgage backed security mortgage backed securities ref http www.forbes.com tools glossary search.jhtml?term pool factor Forbes Financial Glossary Pool Factor ref . To calculate the pool factor, br math Outstanding Principal Balance over Original Principal Balance Pool Factor math br For example, a pool factor of 0.523 indicates that for each note of 10,000, 4,770 of principal has been repaid. If one multiplies the original face value of mortage back security with the pool factor we get the current face value . Usage Asset backed security Asset backed securities and MBSs typically contain issue terms that specify a method through which redeeming principal is shared among investors. When redemption is done pro rata , a pool factor is useful to investors in cases of early repayment. Early repayment reduces the amount of collateral finance collateral available for an issue, and therefore some of the outstanding principal is returned to investors as stated in the issue terms. In this case, the pool factor is used to indicate how the remaining outstanding principal is adequately securitized ref Choudhry, Moorad, et al. Capital Market Instruments Analysis and Valuation .

Simply put, factor price is why the price of an item tends to approach the cost of producing it. There has been much debate as to what determines factor prices. Classical economics Classical and Marxist school of economics Marxist economists argued that factor prices decided the value of a product and therefore the value was Intrinsic theory of value intrinsic within the product. For this reason, the term natural price is often used instead. Marginalist economists argue that the factor price is a function of the demand for the final product, and so they are imputation economics imputed from the finished product.

On Unix like computer systems, factor is a utility for Factorization factoring an integer into its prime factors . factor first appeared on Fifth Edition Unix 5th edition Research Unix in 1974, as a user maintained utility section 6 of the man page manual . In the Seventh Edition Unix 7th edition in 1979, it was moved into the main commands section of the manual section 1 . From there, the factor utility was copied to all other variants of Unix , including commercial Unixes and BSD . In some variants of Unix, it is classified as a game more than a serious utility, and therefore documented in section 6. A free software version of the factor utility was written for the GNU project by Paul Rubin , in 1986. It is now available on all Linux distributions as part of the GNU Core Utilities . In 2008, GNU factor started to use GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library GNU MP library for arbitrary precision arithmetic, allowing it to factor integers of any length, not limited by the machine s native integer type .

Cleanup date November 2009 A conversion factor changes something to a different version or form. A factor is something that brings results or a cause, while conversion is an action of changing the version of a thing. In mathematics , specifically algebra , a conversion factor is used to convert a measured quantity to a different unit of measure without changing the relative amount. To accomplish this, a ratio fraction is established that equals one 1 . In the ratio, the conversion factor is a multiplier that, when applied to the larger unit, converts the larger unit into the smaller unit, by multiplication with the measured amount. 24 hrs 1 day 1 or 43,560 square feet 1 acre 1 3 days 3 24 hours 72 hours conversion factor is 24 Note If a b, then a b 1 and b a 1 Days are converted, to hours, by multiplying the days by the conversion factor as 24. The conversion can be reversed by dividing, the hours, by 24 to get days however, the reciprocal 1 24 could be considered the reverse conversion factor for an hours to days conversion, where 1 24 0.0416666666667. Hence, the term conversion factor is the multiplier which yields the result, not a divisor from that viewpoint. To yield hours, the conversion factor is 24, not 1 24, so hours days 24 multiplying by the factor . Common conversion factors for water and wastewater For water treatment or reservoir s, there are several conversion factors which are commonly used Since 1 day 24 hours 1440 minutes, therefore 15 minutes 1 day 1440 minutes 15 1440 0.010416667 0.01 days. 1 million gallons per day MGD 3.069 acre feet per day ac ft day 1.55 cubic feet per second cfs 694 gallons per minute gpm 1 gallon 3785 milliliters 3.785 liters 8.34 pounds of water.

In dentistry, the configuration factor also known as c factor refers to the number of bonded to unbonded surfaces in a tooth preparation. For instance, in an Occlusion dentistry occlusal class I preparation there would be 5 bonded surfaces and only 1 unbonded surface. The net result would be a C factor of 5. As the C factor increases so too does the possibility of bond disruption when using a composite resin. This effect is caused by a reduction in unbonded surfaces in which the composite can flow to relieve polymerization stress. The technique of incremental layering has been suggested to compensate for preparations with high configuration factors.
