The Diametral Pitch (DP) is the number of teeth per inch of the Pitch Circle Diameter (PCD). When I was working on gear calculations I always had the reminder in my head that "the number of teeth over DP equals PCD".
i.e. PCD = N/DP
This is usually the best way to have the equation otherwise you come up with DPs that are not available or fractions of a tooth!
