this is a 2 part answer,
1) your scaled factor is determined by the your map size, a "To" scale drawing is a percentage of the actual size of the object being drawn on the map
2) using autocadd for most drawings and draft's you typically draw the object at a 1:1 ratio, then apply the desired Scale (or scale factor) to fit the the desired paper size

How do you find a scale factor in math?
To find the scale factors of two objects, you need to compare the ratios of things like their sizes, areas, volumes, and length. For example, if one is given a volume of 7 for a shape, and a second shape has a volume of 14, you have to compare the volume ratio of these two shapes to find the scale factor. This scale factor is 1 to 2, or the volume of the second shape is twice the first one. Scale factors are useful for scale drawings.
