				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.
