Let A be a finite-dimensional associative algebra over a field F. Let R denote the radical of A. Assume that A/R is separable. Then it is well known (the Wedderburn principal theorem) that A possesses a Wedderburn decomposition A = S + R (semi-direct), where S is a separable subalgebra isomorphic with A/R. We call S a Wedderburn factor of A.
