The actual, correct answer is that Q factor is a * m e a s u r e o f

wider hub will tend to have a higher Q-factor. Some cranks angle
outwards, which also increases Q-factor.
Most people prefer lower Q-factor (pedals closer together), but others
like their legs more splayed out. In practice, it generally doesn't
matter much.
