1. the 2 continuous links of the chain,
2. the 2 continuous teeth of the sprocket, (both these values are equal for a chain sprocket kit)
I've written an entire post on Chain pitch on the first page: http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/146755-post8.html
Remember, the chain is "laid down" on the sprocket. The Chain pitch must REMAIN THE SAME even if the sprocket changes to another one, otherwise the chain won't fit on the sprocket at all...
As for your formula, of Module no.(m= no. of teethes/diameter of gear), it must be for something else.
And no, gears module number can't be used here. That's because adding or reducing even one teeth extra will change this ratio, but the sprockets could be the same chain pitch and compatible too.
