Subharmonics 16–32
Prime factorization 24
Dual sharp fifth 32/21 (729.219c)
Dual flat fifth 32/22 (648.682c)

The subharmonics 16–32 are the subharmonics 16 through 32 of the subharmonic series. Above the root they form the ratios 32/32, 32/31, …, 32/16 and span one octave. Used as a scale, this set is also called mode 16 of the subharmonic series. The inverse consists of harmonics 16–32.
