'''262144/177147''', the '''Pythagorean diminished sixth''', is a [[3-limit]] interval. It is often called a "wolf fifth" due to appearing in the circle of fifths in Pythagorean 12-note tuning. It is separated from the classical wolf fifth [[40/27]] by a [[schisma]]. | '''262144/177147''', the '''Pythagorean diminished sixth''', is a [[3-limit]] interval.

== Approximation == | |||
Like any 3-limit intervals, this interval is well approximated by any equal tuning with accurate octaves and fifths. It is very closely, though inconsistently approximated by [[23edo]]'s flat fifth of 13\23. The first superset of 23edo that consistently approximates it is {{nowrap| 23 × 11 {{=}} [[253edo]] }}. | |||
