Definition
因素 (yīnsù) refers to a factor or element that influences a result or outcome — it's the most general word for 'factor' in Chinese. 要素 (yàosù) is a more specific term for an essential or key factor, while 成分 (chéngfèn) means a component or ingredient of a mixture. 条件 (tiáojiàn) is a condition or prerequisite, not a factor.
