The Scale Factor of 3/2 is the relative difference of one fraction or number (a) to another fraction or number prime (a′). In other words, 3/2 is what you multiply (number a) by to get (number a prime).
In a multiplication problem, we have a multiplier, multiplicand, and a product. You could say that (a) is the multiplier, the Scale Factor of 3/2 is the multiplicand, and (a′) is the product:
multiplier × multiplicand = product
multiplier × scale factor = product
a × 3/2 = a′
In the calculator below, you can enter the multiplier (a) as a fraction. We will then multiply it by the Scale Factor of 3/2 and give you the product (a′) in its simplest form possible.
You may also be interested to know that a Scale Factor of 3/2 is an Enlargement Scale Factor because it makes a fraction or number larger when it is multiplied by 3/2.
