'''729/512''', the '''Pythagorean augmented fourth''', may be reached by stacking six perfect fifths ([[3/2]]), and [[octave reduction|reducing by three octaves]]. While nowadays "tritone" more commonly refers to a broader range of intervals, in Medieval music theory, "tritone" referred more specifically to 729/512, as this is the interval reached by stacking three (Pythagorean whole) [[tone]]s ([[9/8]]). It is separated from the 5-limit interval of [[64/45]] by the schisma ([[32805/32768]]), less than 2{{cent}}.
