A clock frequency divider circuit including: a storing section for storing an input signal in synchronism with an input clock signal; a supplying section for supplying, as the input signal, one of a first value obtained by adding a value stored by the storing section to a numerator setting value and a second value obtained by subtracting a denominator setting value from the first value; a retaining section for retaining a most significant bit of the value stored by the storing section in synchronism with the input clock signal; and a logical product generating section for generating a logical product of a value retained by the retaining section and the input clock signal, and outputting the logical product as an output clock signal; wherein the supplying section supplies one of the first value and the second value as the input signal on a basis of the most significant bit of the value stored by the storing section.
