In mathematics, particularly in the field of algebra, an "invariant factor" arises in the context of finitely generated abelian groups and modules. The invariant factors provide a way to uniquely express a finitely generated abelian group in terms of its cyclic subgroups and can be used to classify such groups up to isomorphism.
