The investigator plans to use a factorial experimental design. Each independent variable is a factor in the design. Because there are three factors and each factor has two levels, this is a 2×2×2, or 23, factorial design. This design will have 23=8 different experimental conditions.
Consequently, how many interactions can be studied in a 2 * 3 * 5 factorial design?
Similarly, a 25 design has five factors, each with two levels, and 25 = 32 experimental conditions. Factorial experiments can involve factors with different numbers of levels. A 243 design has five factors, four with two levels and one with three levels, and has 16 × 3 = 48 experimental conditions.

Similarly one may ask, how many factors are in a 2x3 factorial design?
three factors
The simplest of the two level factorial experiments is the design where two factors (say factor and factor ) are investigated at two levels. A single replicate of this design will require four runs ( ) The effects investigated by this design are the two main effects, and and the interaction effect .
