This term isn't standard terminology used in AP Chemistry. However, if we consider "factoring" as breaking down into simpler parts, then it could refer to breaking down reactants into their constituent elements or simpler compounds during a chemical reaction.
Reactants: The starting materials in a chemical reaction that undergo change.
Products: The substances formed as a result of a chemical reaction.
Stoichiometry: The calculation of quantities in chemical reactions based on the balanced equation.
