Asked by Bethany
2 Gears are in their starting position.
Gear 1 has 6 teeth.
Gear 2 has 8 teeth.
As gear 1 turns, it causes gear 2 to turn at a different rate.
Gear 1 is rotated until the two gears are back at starting position.
What is the minimum number of rotations Gear 1 requires to return to it's starting position?
I know the answer is 4 rotations but I don't understand the proper reason why?
