Technically speaking, since frequency is expressed in inverse units, to go to larger (in magnitude) number, you must divide the frequency. I had actually written "multiplies" at first, realized my mistake and corrected the post.
Ahhhh.. no.
For a given time interval you have x number of clock edges going in to the PLL and a number greater than x of clock edges coming out. That's not division. There are circuits that act as clock dividers and they output a number of clock edges that is less than the number going in for a given time interval.
It is a matter of semantics anyway. sometimes the "correct" way of saying something is the most confusing.
Maybe sometimes but in this case you were simply, shall we say, mistaken.
