by this do you mean

s*V

where s is the scalar and V is the vector?

if V = ai + bj + ck then

s*V = (s*a)i + (s*b)j + (s*c)k

where i, j and k are the unit vectors and a,b and c are constants

Essentially you just multiply each part of the vector by the scalar

To find the scalar multiple of a vector, you multiply each component of the vector by the scalar. For example, if you have a vector v = (a, b, c) and you want to find 2v, you would multiply each component by 2 to get (2a, 2b, 2c).
