You take driven divided by drive. 15 divided by 5 is 3. So the ratio would be 3:1

Number of teeth on driven gear divided by teeth on driven gear.


How do you calculate sprocket rpm?

calculating sprocket RPM is very easy if you know what the RPM of the drive sprocket is. If you know that then it is a simple fraction problem. If you make the drive gear the numerator or the top part of the fraction and the driven gear the denominator or the bottom part of the fraction (DRIVE/DRIVEN) I.E. if the drive sprocket has 25 teeth and your driven sprocket has 100 teeth (25/100) that will reduce to (1/4) or a 4:1 ratio. So if your drive sprocket is spinning at 1000 RPM then your driven sprocket will be spinning at 250 RPM. You can plug your specific sprocket tooth count into that equation and come up with the right answer.


What is the tooth count on the speedometer driven gear at the transfer case of a 1981 f-250 300 i6 4 speed man trans?

It depends on the gear ratio in the differential.


What is a non-hunting gear ratio?

a ratio where each tooth to tooth contact is different each time. one tooth does not contact the same tooth more than once per revolution

What are teeth on bmx?

In the drive train you have the front chainwheel/ring and the rear sprocket that both engage the chain. The pointy bits on sprocket and chainwheel which allows the chain to grip are called teeth. The ratio between the tooth counts is what determines which gear ratio the bike has.

no you can not 25 with 8


What is tooth size on a bike?

There isn't much need to discuss tooth size as such. The important things are which width of chain the sprocket is intended for and the tooth count. Tooth count decides which gear ratio you get.


How do you work out final gear ratio of motorcycle with 14 tooth crankshaft to 59 tooth gear box with 11 tooth front and 47 rear sprocket?

The 14 tooth crank gear mated to the gearbox 59 tooth gear gives a ratio of 4.21:1 which is found by 59/14. Front sprocket 11 & rear sprocket 47 gives a ratio of 4.27:1 ie 47/11. Overall ratio is found by multiplying the two ratios together 4.21*4.27=17.97:1 NOTE - The 14 & 59 tooth gears will be the primary gear reduction in a motorbike, this does not include the actual gearbox ratios which will need to be taken into account for the overall final ratio.

Would a 25 tooth on a bmx work with a 13 tooth?

yes, but the gear ratio will be very low. when you pedal you will need to do more rotations with your legs to travel the same distance as with a 33 tooth and 13 tooth.
