Digital clocks are a combination of MOD 60, MOD 6, MOD 10, and MOD 2 counters.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Digital clocks use MOD 60 for seconds and minutes (since both seconds and minutes range from 00 to 59), MOD 24 for hours (though some use MOD 12 for 12-hour formats, with an AM/PM indicator which can be seen as a MOD 2 counter), and MOD 10 is used within the counting mechanism for each digit in the digital display (since each digit ranges from 0 to 9). The MOD 6 is not directly used for time representation but could be involved in the internal counting mechanisms for transitioning between digits, especially in the representation of tens of minutes and hours in a 12-hour format. However, the primary counters directly related to time display are MOD 60 for minutes and seconds, and MOD 24 or MOD 12 for hours, with MOD 10 being fundamental for the digital representation of each number.
