writing is all caps on the internet is usually seen as "shouting" and considered very rude.

Apart from that, the teeth are distributed along the perimeter of the gear, and the perimeter is 2*pi*radius, so that the number of teeth is proportional with the radius (or diameter). Thus, you only have to use cross-multiplication : (24/6*2.5)=10 teeth.
