Binary counter

The next step beyond a flipflop would seem to be a binary counter, obtained by connecting a string of flipflops, each element emitting a single signal as output for every two which it receives as input.

In order to function as a true counter, not simply a divider, the state of each stage always has to be available, as an output signal. But that is not a difficult detail.
