It means for it's dimesions to be porportional to the original. For example, lets say there's a rectangular prism with a width of 6 units, height of 2 units, and depth of 4 units. A model (in this case smaller than actual object) could be width 3, height 1, depth 2. So you divide or multiply each dimension by the same number to get a model to scale.

Raul is making a scale model of an airplane that has a wingspan of 44 feet. If Raul's scale model is 116116 the size of the actual airplane what is the wingspan of his model?
To find the wingspan of Raul's scale model, divide the actual wingspan of 44 feet by the scale factor of 116116. Calculating this gives approximately 0.000379 feet, which is about 0.00455 inches, a very small model size.
