It doesn't. Only the length of the pendulum and the strength of the gravitational field alter the period/frequency.

The frequency of a pendulum is not affected by its mass. The frequency is determined by the length of the pendulum and the acceleration due to gravity. A more massive pendulum will swing at the same frequency as a less massive one if they have the same length.
The amplitude of a pendulum does not affect its frequency. The frequency of a pendulum depends on the length of the pendulum and the acceleration due to gravity. The period of a pendulum (which is inversely related to frequency) depends only on these factors, not on the amplitude of the swing.
Increasing the mass of a pendulum will decrease the frequency of its oscillations but will not affect the period. The amplitude of the pendulum's swing may decrease slightly due to increased inertia.
The factors that affect the stability of a pendulum with an oscillating support include the length of the pendulum, the amplitude of the oscillations, the frequency of the oscillations, and the mass of the pendulum bob. These factors can influence how smoothly the pendulum swings and how well it maintains its motion.
The four main factors that affect a pendulum are its length, mass of the pendulum bob, angle of release, and gravity. These factors determine the period and frequency of the pendulum's oscillations.
You can reduce the frequency of oscillation of a simple pendulum by increasing the length of the pendulum. This will increase the period of the pendulum, resulting in a lower frequency. Alternatively, you can decrease the mass of the pendulum bob, which will also reduce the frequency of oscillation.
