If you can't see the image Josh posted, here's the text of the relevant paragraph:
Center Distance for a Given Chain Length.--When the distance between the driving and driven sprockets can be varied to suit the length of the chain, this center distance for a tight chain may be determined by the following formula, in which c = center-to-center distance in inches; L = chain length in pitches; P = pitch of chain; N = number of teeth in large sprocket; n = number of teeth in small sprocket.
Nate just simplified it for the case where
N =
n.
