In one minute, we breathe in
approximately 15 times,
in 1 hour 900 times,
and in 12 hours 10800 times,
and in a day 10800 * 2 times.

A day consists of 24 hours, and if we set aside half the day
for our day to day routines, then one can spend 12 hours for recitation of one's idol. Therefore, the maximmum number
of times that one can recite "mantra", or perform "Jap" are
10800. If one wants to obtain 100% benefit of its jap, then performing jap 108 times will give you the benefit of 100%.
That's why in a "Mala", there are 108 beads. It is written in
Vedas, that 1 Jap corresponds to 1 mala (which has 108 beads), therefore performing jap of 108 malas will result in 100% benefit.
