'''1048576/1048575''', the '''~~megabyte comma~~''' is a [[41-limit]] [[Superparticular ratio|superparticular comma]] of about 0.00165 [[cent]]s. It is the amount by which a stack consisting of [[16/15]], [[32/31]] and [[64/55]] exceeds [[41/32]]. This comma is notably tempered by [[311edo]], an excellent 41-limit temperament.

'''1048576/1048575''', the '''mebisma''' is a [[41-limit]] [[Superparticular ratio|superparticular comma]] of about 0.00165 [[cent]]s. It is the amount by which a stack consisting of [[16/15]], [[32/31]] and [[64/55]] exceeds [[41/32]]. This comma is notably tempered by [[311edo]], an excellent 41-limit temperament.

== Etymology ==

The word ''megabyte'' for this comma was ~~introduced~~ by [[User:Xenllium|Xenllium]] in 2023~~. It often refers~~ to 1048576 (220) bytes ~~instead of 1000000, arising from~~ the ~~prevalence of sizes that are~~ [[~~wikipedia:Power of two~~|~~powers of two~~]] ~~in modern digital memory architectures~~.

The word ''megabyte'' for this comma was suggested by [[User:Xenllium|Xenllium]] in 2023 to refer to the numerator 1048576 (220) but it was changed due to it having nothing to do with bytes or with the [[128/125|kilobyte comma]] to the "mebisma" based on "mebi-" being the SI prefix for 220 = 10242 and being a shorter name.
