Differences in Elapsed Ticks property of Stopwatch

Question

ElapsedTicks & Elapsed.Ticks are properties of Stopwatch, which I think should be same. And in case they are same, why they should give different outputs ?

Code :

Stopwatch spwt = Stopwatch.StartNew();
spwt.Stop();
Console.WriteLine(spwt.ElapsedTicks);
Console.WriteLine(spwt.Elapsed.Ticks);

Output :

6
16

Why is this difference observed ? shouldn't it be same ?

Does this answer your question? [Are StopWatch.ElapsedTicks and StopWatch.Elapsed.Ticks always the same?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1017608/are-stopwatch-elapsedticks-and-stopwatch-elapsed-ticks-always-the-same) — Wai Ha Lee, Sep 29 '21 at 13:39

See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.diagnostics.stopwatch.elapsedticks#remarks :

Note

Stopwatch ticks are different from DateTime.Ticks. Each tick in the DateTime.Ticks value represents one 100-nanosecond interval. Each tick in the ElapsedTicks value represents the time interval equal to 1 second divided by the Frequency.
