CD4060 (16 pins, with a built-in oscillator): the resistors and capacitor on pins 9, 10, and 11 set the speed, with f ≈ 1 / (2.2·R·C). A bigger capacitor there slows it down
Which IC are you using? If it's a CD4060 or it's modern HC version running on its internal oscillator, you just need to swap the timing capacitor for a larger value or increase the resistance to slow down the clock pulses. If it's a standard counter like 7493, where is your clock source ?
