Is there a physics concept that in central to this phenomenon? I'll try looking that up and see if that helps me in my understanding?

To Orodruin's question, It's tricky, but my understanding as of now is that, any larger gear driving a smaller one,say 20 teeth gear driving a 10 teeth one would rotate exactly once, so a 40 teeth gear would rotate like 1/2 a rotation? and so on? If I'm right?

The larger gear would have passed 10 of its 200000000000000 teeth in one rotation I would assume!

Think, I see the point...Thank you!

Okay, I just tried the experiment with 2 one cent coins and found that thought there were no teeth to simulate it perfectly, the driver coin took almost exactly 2 rotations...

So, Once 5+1? Hmm..kinda makes sense!

Once, Ofcourse!

A gear A has 50 teeth and another B has 10 teeth, how many times does the small gear rotate around the big one? I thought 5 but its 6! Note: The gear is curved like 360 degrees.
