Dear All
Please see attached picture

As I know, when we assign the pre scaler to any timers, (PIC16f877a) 1:8 mean after 8 clocks timer register will increment by 1. but as per my picture in timer1 pre scaler ÷1, ÷ 2, ÷ 4, ÷ 8 instead of 1:1,1:2,1:4,1:8,.I think the result is same. please advice

Yes, the nomenclature ÷ 8 and 1:8 represent the same clock prescaler setting. The division symbol (÷) is in reference to a clock/frequency divider which implements the clock prescaler circuitry.
