Inform that application because it depends on what you want to do is the most appropriate type of divisor / s .... it usually oscillates with sufficient level to excite the logic used (CMOS, TTL, etc.) and then it is divided by figure that is desired but according to this is the divisor to use .... if it is simple Ex: 2 or 5, there are already dedicated ICs (in TTL SN7490), if several must not be interconnected to achieve the expected result The crystals oscillate in a fundamental frequency or in an overtone in third, fifth, etc. over-tone and everything depends on the cut of the crystal and the oscillator circuit
