<div>== Coincidence factor ==<br />
<br />
The coincidence factor is the reciprocal of the diversity factor. However, differing sources define the simultaneity factor to be identical to either the coincidence factor or the diversity factor. The [[International Electrotechnical Commission]] defines the coincidence and simultaneity factors identically with the diversity factor being the [[reciprocal]]{{dn|date=July 2013}}. Since the only change in definition is to take the inverse, all one needs to know is if the factor is greater than or less than one.<br />
<br />
== Diversity ==<br />
<br />
The (unofficial) term diversity, as distinguished from diversity factor refers to the percent of time available that a machine, piece of equipment, or facility has its maximum or nominal load or demand (a 70% diversity means that the device in question operates at its nominal or maximum load level 70% of the time that it is connected and turned on).<br />
<br />
== Diversified load and diversification factor==<br />
<br />
The diversified load is the total expected load (power) to be drawn during a peak period by a device or system of devices. The diversified load is the combination of each devices full load capacity, Utilization Factor, Diversity Factor, Demand Factor and the Load factor(electrical)|load factor. This process is referred to as load diversification. The diversification factor is then defined as:<br />
<br />
<math> f_{Diversification} = \frac{\text{Diversified Load}}{\text{Maximum system load}}</math><br />
<br />
== In mathematics ==<br />
<br />
Diversity factor is commonly used for a number of mathematics-related topics. One such instance is when completing a coordination study for a system. This diversity factor is used to estimate the load of a particular node in the system.<br />
