To find Astable multivibrator output frequency.
Formula,
Output frequency = 1.44 / [ (R1+2R2)*C ].
So we need 2 external resistors and external capacitor.

I Agree with you @Pradeep.

The above referenced astable circuit is Multivibrator. The astable multivibrator generates a square wave, the period.
Of which is determined by the circuit external to IC 555. The astable multivibrator does not require any external trigger to change the state of the output. Hence it is also known as free running oscillator. The time during which the output is either high or low is determined by the two resistors and a capacitor which are externally connected to the 555 timer.
