multiplying factor
1intensity factor — A multiplying factor used in planning activities to evaluate the foreseeable intensity or the specific nature of an operation in a given area for a given period of time. It is applied to the standard day of supply in order to calculate the combat …
2Conversion factor — 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… …
3Integrating factor — In mathematics, an integrating factor is a function that is chosen to facilitate the solving of a given equation involving differentials. It is commonly used to solve ordinary differential equations, but is also used within multivariable calculus …
4Money Factor — The alternative method of presenting the amount of interest charged on a lease with monthly payments. A money factor can be translated into the more common annual percentage rate (APR) interest by multiplying the money factor by 2,400. Also known …
5Crop factor — The outer, red box displays what a 24×36 mm sensor would see, the inner, blue box displays what a 15×23 mm sensor would see. (The actual image circle of most lenses designed for 35 mm SLR format would extend further beyond the red box than shown… …
6Scale factor (computer science) — A scale factor is used in computer science when a real world set of numbers needs to be represented on a different scale in order to fit a specific number format. For instance, a 16 bit unsigned integer ( uint16 ) can only hold a value as large… …
7Power factor (pistol) — In competitive practical shooting, power factor refers to a ranking system for the momentum of pistol cartridges. The power factor is used in competitions sponsored by IPSC, USPSA, The Bianchi Cup, Steel Challenge, and IDPA. Contents 1 IPSC/USPSA …
8Capacity factor — The net capacity factor of a power plant is the ratio of the actual output of a power plant over a period of time and its output if it had operated at full nameplate capacity the entire time. To calculate the capacity factor, total the energy the …
9Fanning friction factor — The Fanning friction factor is a dimensionless number used in fluid flow calculations. It is related to the Shear stress at the wall as:: au = frac{ f ho v^2}{2}where:* au is the shear stress at the wall *f is the Fanning friction factor of the… …
10Units conversion by factor-label — Many, if not most, parameters and measurements in the physical sciences and engineering are expressed as a numerical quantity and a corresponding dimensional unit; for example: 1000 kg/m³, 100 kPa/bar, 50 miles per hour, 1000 Btu/lb. Converting… …
