The gravimetric factor is related to the percentage of element (or ion) to be determined in the precipitate (as compound).
Precipitate (a solid compound)
You can determine if a compound will precipitate after a substitution reaction by calculating the solubility product (Ksp) of the products formed. If the ion product (Q) exceeds the Ksp value, a precipitate will form. Additionally, the solubility rules can also be used to predict whether a compound will precipitate based on its solubility in water.
A precipitate is a solid that forms when two liquids are mixed and a chemical reaction occurs, causing a solute to become insoluble. The solute is the substance that is dissolved in the liquid and forms the precipitate when it becomes insoluble.
You think probable to a precipitate, an insoluble compound.
