Simple answer: It is how many times your axles turn for every time your driveshaft spins once. For example, with 4.33's, if your wheels spins once, your driveshaft will turn 4 1/3 times. A simple formula to figure out what gear ratio you have is to take the number of ring teeth there are and divide it by the number of pinion teeth there are.
It should be "how many times your driveshaft turns in order to turn the axle (or tire) one time... Your example is correct though...
