If two counters are cascaded with MOD-M followed by MOD-N, then combined counter is (M x N) and counter is called" MOD (M x N)" counter.

Output frequency = fin/ (M x N).
Output frequency (fout) = (60 * 106) / (12 * 10).
Output frequency (fout) = 500 KHz.

Output frequency = f/MxN.

Total count 120.
This requires 7ff,
So freq=60/(2^7)=468.75khz.

For MOD 12:-
Frequency will be divided as=60mHz /12=5 MHz
than For MOD 10:-
Again frequency division
5 MHz /10=500kHz

Total mod=12 x 10 =120

So output frequency = 60 Mhz /120 =500k
