How to calculate the required minimum distance between two pulley centers?

(OP)
Our driven pulley dia is 23.5" and it sould have 940 rpm to acheive the required output. Drive pulley dia and speed have been calculated as 12.5" and 1800 rpm in order to acheive our output in driven pulley. Now the question is how to calculate the required minimum distance between two pulley centers?
