Not necessarily.
Most maps will have scales written with units. Map scales in the Imperial system are sometimes written as 2 inches = 1 mile, for example. This could be simplified to 1:31680. In the simplest form, this is 1 inch = 31680 inches but that would not be particularly meaningful to most users.
Similarly, in the metric system, scales may be written as 4 cm = 1 km rather than 1:25000. In the simplest form this is 1 cm = 25000 cm. Again, not particularly user friendly.
