#142068 - Why 6 digits?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
So now we know that you're obtaining the value to display an ICL7135:

The ICL7135 is a 4-1/2 Digit, BCD Output, A/D Converter:

Since the ICL7135 only has a 4-1/2 Digit output, why does your display need six digits?!
As you're not using the actual output from the ICL7135, your accuracy is likely to be less than 4-1/2 digits - especially if you use a 555 timer to generate your clock!
