   I have a drawing in 1/500 of the Baltimore. What to scale to 1/144. Do I divide 144 by 500 or what?

   You divide 500 by 144 to get 3.47. You would increase the size of the drawing by 347%.
   
   A good article on the subject: http://www.finescale.com/~/media/import/files/pdf/9/c/0/tips_for_scales.pdf
