If you have it open to count the ring gear teeth, it is very easy to turn the gear to see the numbers stamped in the edge of the ring gear. That will have the number of teeth on the ring gear and the pinion gear. Divide the two numbers for the ratio.

Or, count the teeth on the pinion and do the math.
