Definition of Scale Factor

• The ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures is called as Scale Factor.
• The ratio of the length of the scale drawing to the corresponding length of the actual object is called as Scale Factor

scale factor is where you want to find how much bigger the other object is and you do that by taking the bigger object number angle and dividing it by the smaller one such 

′
 once you divide it out, you get 1.5 and that means that the newer object is 1.5 times larger than the original.
