Another way to remember large / small scale is to look at it as a fraction or divison. If you divide "1" into 5,000 pieces, they will be larger than dividin "1" into 5,000,000 pieces.
Or 1/5000 is a "larger" fraction than 1/5000000

What are those ratios all about sir? Can you please elaborate more, like how and why did it become 1:5,000?

[@sayochikun3288]

1/100000 means 1cm line on the map is 100000cm (or other units) line in real life. They pick round numbers because its easier work.
+ A to B is 3.2cm on map. Map's scale is 1/1000000cm. So A to B in real life is 3.2km

sir can you do a series on effectively using Admiralty Notice to mariners to correct charts and publications, like first where to get ANM, which sections to print, why correcting NP131 first before correcting standard charts, how to correct standard charts also T&P, and etcc....
