7/1, the 7th harmonic or septuple, is the harmonic past 6/1 and before 8/1. It is two octaves above 7/4, and is the basis of 7-limit harmony, as many 7-limit intervals can be expressed as the difference between this and another harmonic.
7/1 is the fourth prime harmonic, after 5/1 and before 11/1. Many people consider it the first prime harmonic to be truly "xenharmonic", as it creates new interval categories not found in 12edo.
