It sounds right to me. I'm not sure what would be divided. Perhaps the formula you saw before didn't have the pulley ratio but instead had pulley sizes, so you had to figure the pulley ratio in the equation (which would require division).

pulley ratio = crank pulley / blower pulley

there- you have division. Happy now?
