'''332929/332928''', the ''' | '''332929/332928''', the '''sulbasutrisma''' is an [[unnoticeable comma|unnoticeable]] 2.3.17.577-subgroup [[comma]] which is the difference between 577/408 and its [[octave complement]] 816/577. It is also the difference between a stack of twice [[577/576]] and [[289/288]]. As 577/408 is a convergent to sqrt(2), like [[3/2]], [[7/5]], [[17/12]], [[41/29]], [[99/70]], and 239/169, the comma separating the two is [[superparticular]]. | ||
