How to use it
Factible means 'feasible' — capable of being done or achieved, given existing constraints. Formal synonym of viable and posible but narrower: factible implies concrete practicality. Common constructions: ser factible, resultar factible, un plan factible. Ser: always ser. Register: formal, technical, business.
Common mistake
Factible ≠ posible: posible is broader (anything not impossible); factible implies practical achievability within given means. Use factible when you want to assert concrete doability, not just theoretical possibility.
