Convert mm to optical zoom

What is the rule to convert the mm notationto the optical zoom notation? I searched a bit and found this one:

optical zoom = maximum focal lenght / minimum focal length

For example a 18-55mm lens would have a 3x optical zoom or a 18-200mm lens would have a 11x optical zoom. Is it right?
