I would start by stating that for any measurement, the unit value is arbitrary. For instance, you can measure distance in meters, inches, etc., so start with the expression:

nu = mv

where mv is the same measurement in different units. If you consider mv a constant, you can manipulate the above equation to get:

n = (mv)/u

which shows that n is proportional to 1/u.

Basically whenever you take a measurement, that larger the units you use, the smaller the number is going to be. 1 meter is 100 centimeters is 1000 millimeters.
