bulky circuit / frequency conversion

I have looked through the archives on this topic, and have been unable
to find any responses detailing the process, just "frequency conversion
is not a simple problem," over and over again.

The frequency conversion I wish to attempt should not be as difficult,
because I have a low frequency signal generator to begin with and aid
in the process.

Here's the details:

I have a 7.83 Hz signal powered by one 9-volt DC alkaline battery.

I have a kitchen outlet which generates a 60 Hz signal.

---

With these two signals, I believe that theoretically I can generate
just about any frequency of signal, to about +- 0.16 Hz due to the
linear combinations of frequency of the two signals.

My question is, how realistic is the theory in this case, since it
might require 5 or 6 mixers to get the frequency desired (6.3 Hz). Will
noise be an overwhelming problem?

I'm willing to bet large sums of money that you don't.

Is 6.3158 close enough. Double 60 to 120 and divide by 19.

Yes, that is great. Thanks for the insight.
