Principal Component 1 represents the linear combination of factors that accounts for the largest amount of variability in the data, and each succeeding component (PC2, PC3) has the highest variance possible under the constraint that it is uncorrelated with the preceding components. PC1 accounted for 31.2% of the variability in the current dataset.
