Latches in frequecny divider using fsm implementation

I am new to verilog and HDL. I want to implement a N-frequency divider, which count clock ticks (pos and neg) and start the counting mechanism from the first rising edge of the input clk. In a...

Registers in an FPGA only have a single clock input, hence one register can only use a single clock, either a rising or falling edge.
