The motherboard is the main circuit board in a computer that contains key components and connectors for other boards. Motherboard form factors define the size, shape, and layout of components on the board, including standard formats like AT, ATX, Mini ATX, Micro ATX, LPX, and BTX, with ATX being the most common modern standard and BTX allowing for more flexible system designs.

Motherboard- a printed circuit board containing the principal components of a computer or
other device, with connectors into which other circuit boards can be slotted.
Motherboard Form Factors
A form factor of a motherboard pertains to the size and shape of the board. It also describes the physical layout of the different components and devices on the motherboard. AT (Advance Technology) – an IBM PC model introduced in 1984 ATX ( Advance Technology Extended) the modern day shape and layout of PC motherboard Mini ATX Micro ATX LPX (Low – Profile Extended) BTX ( Balance Technology Extended) – provides new tools and design space for developers to lay out desktop system, whether designing small, compact systems or very large, expandable systems.
