Learning Factor Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Learning Factor?

FIRST Step Consider the formula
k=log10(a1)-log10(an)log10(ntasks)
Next Step Substitute values of Variables
k=log10(3600s)-log10(1200s)log10(11)
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
k=log10(3600)-log10(1200)log10(11)
Next Step Evaluate
k=0.458156909991326
LAST Step Rounding Answer
k=0.4582

How to Evaluate Learning Factor?

Learning Factor evaluator uses Learning Factor = (log10(Time for Task 1)-log10(Time for n Tasks))/log10(Number of Tasks) to evaluate the Learning Factor, Learning factor is associated with how mature the technology is and is inversely proportional to the number of tasks in the operation belt. Learning Factor is denoted by k symbol.

How to evaluate Learning Factor using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Learning Factor, enter Time for Task 1 (a1), Time for n Tasks (an) & Number of Tasks (ntasks) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Learning Factor

What is the formula to find Learning Factor?
The formula of Learning Factor is expressed as Learning Factor = (log10(Time for Task 1)-log10(Time for n Tasks))/log10(Number of Tasks). Here is an example- 0.458157 = (log10(3600)-log10(1200))/log10(11).
How to calculate Learning Factor?
With Time for Task 1 (a1), Time for n Tasks (an) & Number of Tasks (ntasks) we can find Learning Factor using the formula - Learning Factor = (log10(Time for Task 1)-log10(Time for n Tasks))/log10(Number of Tasks). This formula also uses Common Logarithm (log10) function(s).
