For the ferrous cyanide complex,Fe..........=+2In CN,C...............=+2N.................=-3In tyhe right hand products, the oxidation states are as follows:Fe..............+3C................+4N.................+5So change in oxidation numbers for each Fe(CN)4- complex=1(Fe)+ 2(C) +8(N)=11=N-factor

n factor is the number of electron transfer for single atom or the oxidation state of the central atom
In the complex
K4[Fe(CN)6]
4(1) + x + 6(−1) =0
x−2 = 0
x = +2
so n factor =2
K4[Fe(CN)6]
4(1) + x + 6(−1) =0
x−2 = 0
x = +2
so n factor =2

In K4[Fe(CN)6] n actor is given by:
total positive charge carried by K+ which is equal to 4
or
it is given by total negative charge carriedby
anionic part [Fe(CN)6] - which is equal to 4. Therefore the answer is 4
