a book i'm referring quotes an example:
if z=27 speed steps are to be obtained in 3 stages, then at each stage we must have p=z^(1/3)=3 transmissions.

Normally "gearbox" is a synonym for "transmission". So, taking your question literally, the number of transmissions per stage is 1/the number of stages in a gearbox. However, I suspect you're looking for a different answer, such as (maybe) the overall gear ratio of a transmission, which equals the product of the individual ratios of the stages in the gear train. (And note that the number of stages is the number of gears - 1.) If you can give more info about the question you might get the answer you're looking for.
