The '''2.3.7.11 subgroup''' ('''laza''' in [[color notation]]) is a [[just intonation subgroup]] consisting of [[rational interval]]s where 2, 3, 7, and 11 are the only allowable [[prime factor]]s, so that every such interval may be written as a ratio of integers which are products of 2, 3, 7, and 11. This is an infinite set and still infinite even if we restrict consideration to a single octave. Some examples within the [[octave]] include [[3/2]], [[7/4]], [[9/7]], [[21/16]], [[11/9]], [[22/21]], and so on.

The 2.3.7.11 subgroup is a retraction of the [[11-limit]], obtained by removing prime 5. Its simplest expansion is the 2.3.7.11.13 subgroup, which adds prime 13. It can also be retracted to the [[2.3.7 subgroup]] by removing prime 11.
