1. (mathematics, logic) Expressed in terms of factors (values that are multiplied together to form a whole)
   • 1998, Walter W. Leffin, ‎George L. Henderson, ‎Mary Van Beck Voelker, Introduction to Technical Mathematics:

     A radical in final factored form is written last, proceeded by the other factors listed with numbers before letters (variables); and variables are usually listed in alphabetical order.

   • 2005, Gary D. Hachtel, ‎Fabio Somenzi, Logic Synthesis and Verification Algorithms, page 417:

     An alternative representation (to sum-of-product form) of a logic function which is closer to the physical implementation of the logic is the factored form.

   • 2018, Vlad P. Shmerko, ‎Svetlana N. Yanushkevich, ‎Sergey Edward Lyshevski, Computer Arithmetics for Nanoelectronics, page 333:

     It follows from this definition that in factored expressions, complements are permitted only for the literals.

2. (statistics) Having been subjected to, or resulting from a factor analysis.
   • 1963, Mark K. Kipfmueller, The Predictibility (sic) and Factored Dimensions of the M-Scales for Eleventh Grade Parochial School Students, page 57:

     To study the predictive efficiency of the M-Scales, the design was based on correlational analysis while the factored dimensions of the M-Scales were studied through factor analysis.

   • 1985, Richard Borden, ‎David B. Gray, ‎Russell H. Weigel, Ecological Beliefs and Behaviors: Assessment and Change, page 44:

     Few of the studies cited in this chapter report the intercorrelations of the factored inventory.

   • 2017, Dragoş Iliescu, Adapting Tests in Linguistic and Cultural Situations, page 263:

     These authors have investigated current practices in the use of factor analysis and have found them lacking in six areas: ratio of variable to factors, average reliability of the factored variables, sample size, type of analysis, factor retention, and factor rotation.

3. Based on groups or categories of inputs.
   • 2007, José Luis Ambite, Dipsy Kapoor, “Automatically Composing Data Workflows with Relational Descriptions and Shim Services”, in Karl Aberer, editor, The Semantic Web, page 18:

     In Argos we used factored data descriptions. Instead of considering the body of a description as a collection of predicates all of equal importance, we group the predicates into meaningful concepts for the domain, and then use these concepts as appropriate in the body of the relational definitions.

   • 2013, Alexander Gelbukh, Computational Linguistics and Intelligent Text Processing, page 211:

     In factored models, translation consists of applying translation and generation steps that gradually fill in the target-side factors and produce a final translation.
