skaleringsfaktoren
Skaleringsfaktoren, commonly translated as the scaling factor, is a numerical value used to enlarge or reduce the size of a quantity. It is the constant by which a quantity is multiplied to change its scale. In mathematics, the simple form is y = kx, where k is the scaling factor. In geometry and graphics, scaling factors can be applied to dimensions, often with separate factors for each axis (kx, ky, kz) to resize objects or images.
Applications of skaleringsfaktoren appear across disciplines. In maps and models, a scale factor converts measurements on
Properties of a scaling factor include its sign and magnitude. A positive k enlarges if k > 1
