Please don't hesitate to give a "thumbs up" in case you're satisfied with the answer

Factor analysis is a statistical method used to describe variability among observed, correlated variables in terms of a potentially lower number of unobserved variables called factors

So, if 2 variables are significantly correlated, like in our case X1 and X2 are , then we can designate a single vector or a factor which captures most of the variations in these 2 variables.

We no longer 2 vectors/factors then. This essentially decreases the number of dimensions in our dataset.

Consider a regression of y on two explanatory variables, x1 and x2, which are potentially correlated (though not perfectly). Say that x1 can take on any value between 1 and 100. A researcher draws a random sample of observations, with information on y, x1 and x2. She runs a regression on this sample, which we refer to as regression A. She then takes the subset of the data where x1 is restricted to only take values between 1 and 50,...

There are two basic types of factor analytic procedures, based on their overall intended function. They include: Exploratory factor analysis. Explanatory factor analysis. Confirmatory factor analysis. Both (a) and (b) are correct. In exploratory factor analysis, the goal is to: Describe data by grouping together variables that are correlated. Summarize data by grouping together variables that are uncorrelated. Describe and summarize data by grouping together variables that are correlated. Test a theory about latent processes that might occur among variables....
