There's an explanation in the documentation (built into the app if you didn't know), but I had a hard time explaining it.
It determines how long the low-value chips stay in play. The larger the round factor, the longer the low-value chips stay in play.
A little background on the way the wizard produces the betting schedule...
You enter your parameters: Desired length, round duration, starting bet ratio, ending bet ratio, blah blah.
The wizard then calculates the raw schedule using an exponential curve (standard % increase per round).
That raw schedule has bet amounts with fraction numbers...so the L1 SB might be 10, the L2 SB might be 13.333, etc.
So, I have rounding to do. But what do I round to? And what's an appropriate rounding amount for each level? Do I round to 1? 5? 25? Any number you pick can't be applied across all levels...it would be too big for some and too small for others.
SO, it uses a "rounding factor" that evaluates your chip case and for each level, picks a chip to round to.
*SO*, if the raw schedule has bets of 153/306 and your rounding factor is 20, it's going to round to the first chip that's more than 150 divided by 20 (1.5), which is probably 5.
