A scale factor is a number which scales some quantity. For example, in the case of 2 meters, the number 2 scales the standard meter quantity. In other words the distance 2 meters is twice the length of the meter standard. In essence the scale factor is 2.

There is also a scale factor for the expansion of the Universe.
