Show SolutionHide Solution↓

The gear ratio shows how the number of teeth on the driving gear (input) relates to the number of teeth on the driven gear (output). It indicates the number of times the output gear turns in relation to the input gear. It is calculated as:

$\text{Gear Ratio}=\frac{\text{Number of teeth on driven gear}}{\text{Number of teeth on driving gear}}$
