[time-nuts] How to get 32.768KHz from 10MHz.

[Didier Juges]

Problem is one period of 32768 is not a multiple of 100nS (one period of 10 MHz) so that won't work. Maybe there is a common denominator and it may be possible to generate an average 32768 periods over one second, even though all periods may not be equal.
