Extensive, Intensive.. Please Help!

I know this might sound silly
But can someone tell me how resistance is extensive?
And molar conductivity intensive??

R = ρ L/A , Here L,A are matter properties, Hence R depends on the bulk/dimensions of the material used. While Resistivity ρ is an Intensive Property.

Molar conductivity Is κ/M , since M is ratio of two extensive quantities , It is intensive, and hence Molar Conductivity is Intensive I think.
