'''85/64''', the '''septendecimal fourth''', is a [[17-limit]] interval that closely approximates [[4/3]], from which it differs by [[256/255]]. Because it differs from [[15/8]] by [[24/17]], this interval is an easy substitute for 4/3 in scales where one desires to simultaneously maintain [[Rothenberg propriety]] and ensure that all notes in the scale suggest the Tonic as the virtual fundamental when played simultaneously. | '''85/64''', the '''septendecimal fourth''', is a [[17-limit]] interval that closely approximates [[4/3]], from which it differs by [[256/255]].
