factor
Piece affecting outcome
In one sense, factor is a near synonym of element, designating a thing that can be analyzed in a context and identified: factors that contribute to juvenile delinquency.
Factor also has several specialized meanings in mathematics, law, and accounting.
If you factor something in, you take into account its influence or effects.
If you factor a number, you identify its factors (that is, the numbers that when multiplied are equal to it).
