In this example of a factorial design, we have a 2x3 (we read this as "a two by three") factorial. Two by three, meaning two factors: A and B. "two" meaning two levels for factor A. "three" meaning three levels for B. In another case of a 3x2 factorial design we have two factors, A and B, factor A three levels, factor B two levels.
