No.of flip flops = 2^n.

According that formula 2^7=128 is correct.

So, required flip flop is 7.

2^(n-1)< N <2^n. [Here N=128].

Since given that it's a divide by 128 device. 2^n > 127 {because the flip flops could count from 0 to given no-1 i.e, 0 to 128-1=127}..

Therefore. =7.. where n is the no of flip flops necessary.

128 equal to 2 power n where n is the number of flip flops.....

Even if there is 127 it is less than 128(2^7) and more than 64 (2^6). So the number of flip flop requires will be the same 7.

Correct but if there is 127 then what we do. ?

2^7 =128

=> 7 flip flops are required.
