go on scale factor wikipedia

it will explain everything to you and if not then:
The ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures is called as Scale Factor. In the equation y=Cx, C is the scale factor for x. C is also the coefficient of x, and may be called the constant of proportionality of y to x

Hope this helps :)
