Need Help Finding the Output Frequencies for Two 4-Bit Binary Counters

I need some help on figuring out how to find the output frequencies (Q0-Q3) for these two counters (Z1 and Z2), which are made up of 2, 4-Bit Binary IC 74LS293 chips. I found the frequency of Q3 on Z1 by performing 44.8 freq. / 16 mod# = 2.8. Though I am unsure on how the obtain the rest of these required frequencies.

Any assistance is most definitely appreciated!

Hello do you have a circuit diagram of how you have it all connected.

As in the pin diagram? I can get you that, I'm only utilizing the two IC chips.

How have you connected them?

I'm sorry, just realized I didn't add the figure, it's this: http://imgur.com/NPPnaD0

Can you tell me if CLK0 is the same as CLKA on the datasheet? And I am guessing Q0-Q3 is QA-QD. It's just the datasheet is different to your drawing.

Yeah CLK0 would be CLKA. And yes, the outputs you wrote are right.

Tricky one this is so I had a go and simulated it and counted the pulses. Your output x appears to change state every 24 clock pulses and the other output goes low after 8 and high after 16. This adds up to 24, which make sense. Don't know if this helps.

It appears to me that the circuit has four separate counter sections wired in series in the following order: ÷4,÷2,÷6,÷2 for a total ÷96. Have not done much work to verify correctness, but that is my first impression.
