The interval '''15/11''', known most frequently as the '''undecimal augmented fourth''', is the difference between the 11th and 15th partials of the [[harmonic series]]. It is 536.95 [[cent]]s wide, exactly [[45/44]] larger than a perfect fourth, and almost exactly a sixth-tone sharper than a [[12edo]] fourth. It is narrower than [[11/8]] by exactly [[121/120]], and is wider than [[27/20]] by exactly [[100/99]].  Additionally, it is narrower than [[243/176]] by exactly [[81/80]], which lends to it being called the '''undecimal grave infra-augmented fourth'''. 15/11 can be called a [[superfourth]], as it falls between the [[interval category|interval categories]] of [[perfect fourth]] and [[tritone]]. 4 steps of [[9edo]] is an excellent approximation for 15/11.

The interval 15/11, known most frequently as the undecimal augmented fourth, is the difference between the 11th and 15th partials of the harmonic series. It is 536.95 cents wide, exactly 45/44 larger than a perfect fourth, and almost exactly a sixth-tone sharper than a 12edo fourth. It is narrower than 11/8 by exactly 121/120, and is wider than 27/20 by exactly 100/99. Additionally, it is narrower than 243/176 by exactly 81/80, which lends to it being called the undecimal grave infra-augmented fourth. 15/11 can be called a superfourth, as it falls between the interval categories of perfect fourth and tritone. 4 steps of 9edo is an excellent approximation for 15/11.
