I reset my computer to factory settings like no files were saved so will the RAT remain in my computer?

RATs usually dig somewhere into the system folders, if you were to revert them back to a safe system restore point or compeltely restore your OS to factory settings via a complete reinstall you'd be fine.

It depends if the RAT installed any malicious content to your system, you should do a thorough virus scan with your internet turned off.
Good luck!
