The factor depends on the choice of your reaction coordinate, and since g_wham doesn't care about it - it's not included.
It accounts for the change in volume when going from cartesian to general coordinates and can be computed as -k_B * T * (d ln ( | J |) / d_lambda), where lambda is the function of atomic coordinates and | J | the determinant of the Jacobian matrix.
