'''10/1''' is the 10th [[harmonic]] or the '''decade'''; three octaves above [[5/4]].  
'''10/1''', the '''10th harmonic''', '''decade''' or '''decuple''' (symbol: '''dec'''), is the [[harmonic]] past [[9/1]] and before [[11/1]]. It is three [[octave]]s above [[5/4]]. As a coarse [[interval size measure]] it sees many applications in audio engineering. In harmony, it can be approached as a stack of [[2/1]] and [[5/1]], making chords like 1–2–10, 1–5–10, or 1–2–5–10.
 
It is sometimes known as a ''decave'' or ''decatave''.
