'''3025/3024''', the '''lehmerisma''', is an [[11-limit]] [[unnoticeable comma]] measuring about 0.57{{cent}}. It is the difference between [[55/54]] and [[56/55]], between [[121/120]] and [[126/125]], between [[225/224]] and [[243/242]], and between [[385/384]] and [[441/440]], as well as the amount by which two [[12/11]] neutral seconds falls short of [[25/21]], the quasi-tempered minor third.

It factors into two superparticular commas: [[4375/4374]] × [[9801/9800]].  
It factors into the two smallest superparticular commas in the 11-limit: 3025/3024 = ([[4375/4374]])([[9801/9800]]).  


== Temperaments ==
== Temperaments ==
Tempering it out leads to the '''lehmerismic temperament''', which splits [[28/27]] into two equal parts, each representing 55/54~56/55. See [[Rank-4 temperament #Lehmerismic (3025/3024)]] for some technical details.  
[[Tempering out]] this comma leads to the '''lehmerismic temperament''', which splits [[28/27]] into two equal parts, each representing 55/54~56/55. See [[Rank-4 temperament #Lehmerismic (3025/3024)]] for some technical details. See [[Lehmerismic temperaments]] for a collection of rank-3 temperaments where it is tempered out.
 
== Etymology ==
This comma was named by [[Gene Ward Smith]] in 2004 after the American mathematician [[wikipedia: D. H. Lehmer|D. H. Lehmer]].
 
<blockquote>
Or perhaps 3025/3024 is a better lehmerisma, as Lehmer mentions it on the first page of his paper. […] He was a wonderful gentlemen and a hell of a mathematician, and deserves
a comma as much as anyone.
