Cellular automata, CA for short are continuous maps defined on the set of configurations over a finite alphabet A that commutes with the shift. They are characterized by the existence of local function which determine by local behavior the image of an element of the configurations space. We will study periodic factors of cellular automata. We classify periodic factors according to their periods. We show that for a surjective cellular automaton with equicontinuity points but without being equicontinuous there is an infinity of classes of equivalence of periodic factors
