Role of Quantities in a Scaling Operation

A programmer is adjusting the volume of a digital audio signal. The audio signal is represented as a list of thousands of numerical values. To decrease the volume, every value in the list is multiplied by a single number, 0.75. The code for this operation looks like this: new_audio_signal = 0.75 * original_audio_signal.

In this scenario, the original_audio_signal is a collection of many numbers. Analyze the role of the number 0.75 in this operation. What is the specific mathematical term for a single numerical quantity that is used to scale a collection of other numbers in this manner?
