Z Axis Steps/mm

Hi,
I've made lots of changes to the firmware and somewhere along the way I played with DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT in Configuration.h. My understanding is that these values can be calculated from the number of teeth on the drive gears of each motor, but I have no idea how many teeth are on the gears that came with the machine. I am currently using:
#define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT { 162, 162, 814.6, 200 }
All of the values have been multiplied by 32 instead of 16 because I am using DRV8825 drivers with 1/32 microstepping.
What should I use for these values on a stock Geetech A10 (with DRV8825 drivers)?
Thanks!
Eliot
