Answer 1

Not to be unpleasant, but this is the kind of question that has so many conceptual errors that it’s hard to even know where to start answering.

Are you asking something like “how can 60 seconds fit into 1 hour if 1 hour is just one unit and 60 are more units”?

You can’t just answer that question without giving a whole lesson on digital signals.
