There should be a PLL chip that includes the M and N dividers, but I'm not 
familiar with that area.

Some/many ARM chips include PLLs so you can use a convenient Xtal and run the 
CPU at a higher speed.  You might look for low cost break out boards for an 
SoC ARM.  Remove their Xtal, feed your 10 MHz into the right pad.  Program it 
to setup one of the counter/timers to do the right divide.
