This means that the size of a territory or the distance between two places shown on the map is proportional to the actual size or distance. For example, if the scale is 1:45000, it means that 1 cm on the map represents 45000 cm in real.

Scale means the drawn in exact relation to that which is being drawn. Example: If you are drawing something that is 10 feet wide, to keep it scale you can draw it 10 inches wide thus one inch represents one foot. The same could be said for mileage scaled down or conversely a schematic of electronics that is enlarged and one inch on the drawing may represent one millimeter in reality.
It means that the map's length is drawn according to a certain scale. For example, if they say that the map is drawn to scale, and they give a scale like 1cm=2km, for every 1cm on the map, it is 2km in real life.
It depends on the scale to which the map has been drawn. Not all maps are the same scale.

Scale.
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.

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
