An Idler Gear is usually used to maintain a stable tension on a belt or chain, OR it is used to redirect the position of the belt or chain. An idler gear transmits no power to or from the belt or chain.
An "idler" is typically used for tensioning of a belt, as in the timing belt, or a chain.

No. But if there are two idler gears, one smaller than the other, say a 12 tooth and a 6 tooth. the 12 tooth idler is the idler of the driver gear which has 24 teeth, making the idler gear rotate 2 times for every rotation that the driver gear rotates. Now, if the 12 tooth idler gear is rotating 2 times faster than the driver gear, then the 6 tooth idler gear will rotate 2 times faster than the 12 tooth idler gear. So, the 6 tooth idler gear is rotating 4 times faster than the driver gear. Let's say that the driven gear has 12 teeth. For every rotation of the 6 toothed idler gear, the driven gear rotates halfway.
An idler gear is a gear which connects two other gears so they will turn in the same direction. :)
follower gear means the gear after the idler gear

all i know is it can be used in a transmission goodbye

An idler gear is a gear which connects two other gears so they will turn in the same direction. :)
An idler gear supports a belt, routes a belt around obstructions, increases the amount of area a belt contacts a pulley, or adds tension to a belt or chain drive system. In the case of a gear chain, the idler would reverse the motion of the gear it drives.
