Any fact involving 2 measurements that are exactly the same, but were done with different scales. 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters: this is an equality.
This can make two conversion factors... (1 in / 2.54 cm) or (2.54 cm / 1 in)
To write a conversion factor place one side of the equality in the numerator (top) of a fraction and the other side in the denominator (bottom) of the fraction.

the molar mass 1 mole = xxx grams based on the chemical formula Ex: CO2 ... the atomic mass of carbon is 12, and the atomic mass of oxygen is 16 but the molar mass = (1 x 12) + (2 x 16) because of the number of atoms of each in the formula. molar mass = 44. so 1 mole = 44 grams ... turn this fact into a conversion factor. 44g / 1mole is the conversion factor to convert moles of carbon dioxide into mass (grams). Each substance will have a different molar mass, so a different conversion factor.
