Synchronous Counter (16 bits?)

Hello people of the AAC community (I'm new to the AAC forums, so bear with me).

So, to the point. I am given by a teacher this project:

Create and design a Synchronous Counter that starts from the number 42110 reaches 103110 and restarts (a loop from 421 to 1031).

I have to use one of these ics: 74ls163, 74ls191, 74ls93 (in the quantity that's needed) and a Timer555 in burst mode (astable).

I think that i'll go with 4 ics of 74ls163 (correct me if i'm wrong, regarding the number of ics needed). We want the timer to give pulses every 1-2sec (what are the R and C values to achieve that)?
I would appreciate it if you could help me with the design (schematics, wiring etc).

Thanks in advance,
Salvatore

Don't get me wrong, i don't want anyone to do the hard job for me. As far as i know the design will be based on this logic

Also i know that i must use the proper logic ics to make the counter stop at 1031. What i want from the people of the forum is to give me some answers on what I ask above and to give me any help they are willing to give. That's all. Sorry for the misunderstanding (and also for my mediocre use of the English language).

Step 3 - the 555 timing components are indicated in a graph in the datasheet.

Step 2 - Do the start and end count values have any characteristics that make this problem easier?

Step 1 - Why 4 counter chips? How many bits does the entire count cycle span? How many chips to cover this span? Why?

Your counters are PRESETTABLE? Preset to 421 on a count of 1031.

thanks for the help. The preset number is 421 (decimal) and we want to count till i get to 1031 (decimal). Since the counters will count in binary i thought that 4 4bit counters give us 16 bits since 1031 in binary is 0000010000000111

Data sheets will often include basic application examples.
