Dilution factor is the final volume / aliquot volume.

Aliquot volume is the measure of sub volume of original sample. Final volume is the total volume.

Dilution factor =final volume /aliquot vol.

for example ; what is the df when you add 2ml sample to 8m???

total vol is 2+8=10

DF=total vol/aliquot.

10/2=5

So 5 is dilution factor
