N = number of atoms in the group being analyzed
Ncons = number of constraints in that same group

Pairs have nothing to do with degrees of freedom.

There is no single value; each group analyzed will have its own scaling factor. 
  Use of the scaling factor depends on what you want to observe, but multiplying 
each frame's value by a constant and then averaging gives the same as averaging 
and multiplying by a constant, so you might save yourself some work if you just 
care about averages.
