You will see a distance of 5 cm on your map represent a 2 km distance across the landscape. Your 2 km is 2,000 meters, and there are 100 cm in a meter. That makes for 200,000 cm in 2 km. If you "reduce" or scale it down by a factor of 40,000, you'll get 200,000 / 40,000 = 5 cm.

If a map is drawn to a scale of 1 to 325000, then 1 cm on the map is 325000 cm in the ground. 65 kilometers is 65*1000 meters and 65*1000*100 centimeters. To find out how many centimeters this is on the map we divide 6500000 by 325000. That is 20. Therefore on this map 65 kilometers would be 20 centimeters.
