When the scale factor is larger than 1, (uniform or non-uniform) scaling is sometimes also called dilation or enlargement. When the scale factor is a positive number smaller than 1, scaling is sometimes also called contraction or reduction. In the most general sense, a scaling includes the case in which the directions of scaling are not ...
A scale factor of 1 ⁄ 10 cannot be used here, because scaling 160 by 1 ⁄ 10 gives 16, which is greater than the greatest value that can be stored in this fixed-point format. However, 1 ⁄ 11 will work as a scale factor, because the maximum scaled value, 160 ⁄ 11 = 14. 54, fits within this range. Given this set:
In physics, mathematics and statistics, scale invariance is a feature of objects or laws that do not change if scales of length, energy, or other variables, are multiplied by a common factor, and thus represent a universality. The technical term for this transformation is a dilatation (also known as dilation).
The composition of two homotheties with centers S 1, S 2 and ratios k 1, k 2 = 0.3 mapping P i &rarrow; Q i &rarrow; R i is a homothety again with its center S 3 on line S 1 S 2 with ratio k ⋅ l = 0.6. The composition of two homotheties with the same center is again a homothety with center .
A fixed-point representation of a fractional number is essentially an integer that is to be implicitly multiplied by a fixed scaling factor. For example, the value 1.23 can be stored in a variable as the integer value 1230 with implicit scaling factor of 1/1000 (meaning that the last 3 decimal digits are implicitly assumed to be a decimal fraction), and the value 1 230 000 can be represented ...

Current 1D/5D-series sensors are effectively full-frame (crop factor 1.0). 548 mm 2 area APS-H format for the high-end mirrorless SD Quattro H from Sigma (crop factor 1.35)
A serial dilution is the step-wise dilution of a substance in solution, either by using a constant dilution factor, or by using a variable factor between dilutions. If the dilution factor at each step is constant, this results in a geometric progression of the concentration in a logarithmic fashion.
[1] In Euclidean space, such a dilation is a similarity of the space. [2] Dilations change the size but not the shape of an object or figure. Every dilation of a Euclidean space that is not a congruence has a unique fixed point [3] that is called the center of dilation. [4] Some congruences have fixed points and others do not. [5]
