The best way is to RTFMP (Manpage) of your specific OS. Let's use linux as an example, there are so many linux distributions out there, the manpage of crontab might be different in some way.

Every ten minutes would be done like this

0-59/10 * * * * /home/directory/script

every five minutes

0-59/5 * * * * /home/directory/script

etc....
