DN to Reflectance

maybe it is not communicated well in the official documentation, but please don’t blame others who are trying to help because you did not find it. It is mentioned in many documents and it is called the quantification value. It is basically a scaling constant which allows to store the products as integers instead of float to reduce the file size required to store it on a hard drive.
For Sentinel-2 it is 10000.
