Count the number of teeth on the pinion gear and count the number of teeth on the ring gear. Divide the ring gear teeth number by the number of teeth on the pinion. The result is your gear ratio.
Example
41 teeth on ring gear
41 teeth on ring gear
40 teeth on ring gear
10 teeth on pinion
12 teeth on pinion
13 teeth on pinion
41/10 = 4.10
41/12 = 3.42
40/13 = 3.08
Note: you may need to round off the number.
