Scale factor (computer science)

A scale factor is used in computer science when a real world set of numbers needs to be represented on a different scale in order to fit a specific number format. For instance, a 16 bit unsigned integer (''uint16'') can only hold a value as large as 65,53510. If uint16's are to be used to represent values from 0 to 131,07010, then a scale factor of 1/2 would be introduced. Notice that while the scale factor extends the range, it also decreases the precision. In this example, for instance, the number 3 could not be represented because a stored ''1'' represents a real world 2, and a stored ''2'' represents a real world 4.
==Uses==
Certain number formats may be chosen for an application for convenience in programming, or because of certain advantages offered by the hardware for that number format. For instance, early processors did not natively support the IEEE floating point standard for representing fractional values, so integers were used to store representations of the real world values by applying a scale factor to the real value. By necessity, this was done in software, since the hardware did not support fractional value.
