The width of a picture is 20 cm. Using a color copier, you reduce the width of the picture to 5 cm. What is the scale factor of the dilation?

When finding a scale factor of a dilation, you are finding how much bigger or smaller something is getting. You put the new measurement over the original in fraction form and simplify. In this case, you put 5 over 20, which reduces to 1/4.
