No. Rhetorical question: You appear not to understand what factor analysis does, so why are you trying to use it?
In any case, these are statistical questions, and therefore largely off topic here, which is about R programming. I suggest you: 1) Consult a local statistical expert (your advisor?) for statistical help; 2) and/or post on a statistical site, like stats.stackexchange.com for further advice and, in particular alternatives for what you might do. Then you can search R's packages (google generally does pretty well at this, as does R's "sos" package) for an implementation of the methods you decide on.
