When one gear is used to drive another, the number of teeth on each gear will factor into the ratio. Even if the number is the same it will have a 1 to 1 ratio.
In a rear axle, for example, a common ratio is 41 teeth on the ring gear (driven gear) and 11 teeth on the pinion gear (drive gear). 41/11 is 3.727272 or commonly called a 3.73 to 1 ratio. It take 3.73 turns of the drive gear to get one turn of the driven gear.
If you are interested, the different ratios provide different combinations of speed and power. Thus a large gear pulling a smaller one gives speed while a smaller gear pulling a larger one gives power.

What is the gear ratio of bevel gears?
Gear ratio of bevel gears isnumber of ring gear teeth divided by number of pinion gear teeth.
What does a gear ratio describe?
Gear ratio is the ratio of the rotational speeds of the first and last gears. It reflects the change in mechanical advantage which results from the gears.
How do you change gear ratio?
You have to change the gears
What determines rear axle ratio?
The # of teeth on the ring gear and the pinion gear. There is always more teeth on the ring gear then the pinion gear. And the way you determine the gear ratio is devide the # of teeth that's on the pinion gear into the # of teeth that's on the ring gear and that will be the gear ratio. The 4 gears that are the same size and run together is called the spider gears. Do not count those gears they have nothing to do with the gear RATIO.
What is the gear ratio of the bevel gear?
Gear ratio of bevel gears isnumber of ring gear teeth divided by number of pinion gear teeth.
How do you change the gear ratio?
You change the ring and pinion gears

How does gear ratio use function?
gear ratio can speed up a device or slow it down. The gears that make up the gear ratio can be used to go from small to bigger thru a series of gears and slow the drive down , say 30 to 1. Or start off with large gears going smaller and speed up the drive say 1 to 30.
