Actual length divided by new length

You're referring to the formula for calculating the scale factor when resizing an object.

The formula is:

Scale Factor = Actual Length ÷ New Length

Where:

For example, if you want to resize an object that is 10 units long to be 5 units long, the scale factor would be:

Scale Factor = 10 ÷ 5 = 2

This means that the object will be reduced to half its original size.
