FACTORED Meaning and
Definition
-
Factored is the past tense and past participle form of the verb "factor." It is a term primarily used in mathematics and finance. In mathematics, factor means to break down a number or expression into its constituent parts or factors. Factors are the numbers or expressions that, when multiplied together, result in the given number or expression. Thus, when an expression or number has been factored, it has been broken down into its prime or basic components.
In finance and accounting, factoring is a process in which a business sells its accounts receivable, or outstanding invoices, to a third-party company, known as a factor, at a discounted rate. Factoring helps companies improve their cash flow as it allows them to convert their outstanding invoices into immediate cash. The factor then assumes the responsibility of collecting the payments from the customers and deducts a fee or percentage from the total amount of the invoices as compensation.
Overall, when something has been factored, it indicates that it has been broken down into smaller, more manageable parts or that a financial transaction involving the sale of accounts receivable has taken place.
