29-wood major 119th
127834/1, the 127834th harmonic, or 29-wood supermajor 119th, is 16 octaves above 63917/32768. It is a part of 397-limit harmony, the 78th prime number.
The number appears in a sequence of fractional part of [math]\displaystyle{ 1.5^n }[/math] decreasing monotonically to zero, meaning the sequence offers progressively closer approximations to repeated stacks of 3/2. Indeed, this interval is close to a stack of perfect fifths by two parameters - both its fractional part decreases progressively, and it is also better than all the [math]\displaystyle{ 1.5^k }[/math] for [math]\displaystyle{ 0\lt k\lt 29 }[/math]. The difference between the two is 0.534 millicents, or 1 in 2.24 million parts of an octave.
Equal divisions of the 127834/1
