What is the difference between "any other factor" and "any other factors"? I have seen both of these two expressions in use. I wonder whether there is any difference between the meaings of the two expressions. Any reply would be appreciated.

factor is singular and factors is plural. That's an important difference in meaning.

jutfrank has provided the only answer I can think of: the noun is singular in one phrase and plural in the other. I can say more if you post a sentence for each phrase.

One more, or two or more. Factors are countable- money could be a factor, time and money could be factors.
