I have a feeling I'm missing the obvious, something really, really obvious.
I need to use the CD4026 (datasheet) for a ÷60 and ÷12 counter. The datasheet says there is a way, but neglects to mention how.

Any thoughts?CD4026B
When the DISPLAY ENABLE IN is low the seven decoded outputs are forced low regardless of the state of the counter. Activation of the display only when required results in significant power savings. This system also facilitates implimentation of display-character multiplexing.
The CARRY OUT and UNGATED "C SEGMENT" signals are not gated by the DISPLAY ENABLE and therefore are available continuously. This feature is a requirement in implimentation of certain divider functions such as divide-by-60 and divide-by-12.
