What does it mean to normalize a non-normalized wavefuction as in psi=something?

Assuming that the particle has to exist somewhere, the total probability, found by integrating [itex]\Psi^*\Psi[/itex] over all space, has to equal 1.0 (a.k.a. 100%). Normalization means to multiply [itex]\Psi[/itex] by a suitable constant so as to make this integral come out that way.
