    Using the LXi as an example:
    The numbers mean that in first gear for every 3.181 times the crankshaft spins, the transmission's countershaft rotates once. For every 4.066 turns of the countershaft, the differential will turn once, which turns both wheels once assuming the car is not turning.

    So in first geat the crankshaft rotates 3.181*4.066=12.934 times for each time the wheels go around.

    What exactly did you want to know?
