In [[11-limit]] [[just intonation]], '''11/7''' is an '''undecimal minor sixth''', measuring about 782.. It is the inversion of [[14/11]], the undecimal major third.  
In [[11-limit]] [[just intonation]], '''11/7''' is an '''undecimal minor sixth''', specifically the '''pentacircle minor sixth''', measuring about 782.5 [[cent]]s. It is the inversion of [[14/11]], the pentacircle major third, and represents the difference between the 7th and 11th harmonics of the [[harmonic series]].  


11/7 is flat of the Pythagorean minor sixth of [[128/81]] (about 792.2¢) by a pentacircle comma, [[896/891]]. It is flat of the 5-limit minor sixth of [[8/5]] (about 813.7¢) by [[56/55]]. It is sharp of the 7-limit subminor sixth of [[14/9]] (about 764.9¢) by a mothwellsma, [[99/98]]. And finally, it is sharp of the classic augmented fifth of [[25/16]] (about 772.6¢) by a valinorsma, [[176/175]].  
In many notation systems (e.g. [[FJS]], [[HEJI]]), it is an imperfect fifth, as it is a [[3/2|perfect fifth (3/2)]] plus an instance of [[22/21]], which is a stack consisting of an [[33/32|undecimal quartertone (33/32)]] and a [[64/63|septimal comma (64/63)]], neither of which changes the [[scale|scale degree]] or [[interval quality|quality]]. It functions as such in voicings of the harmonic eleventh chord, [[4:5:6:7:9:11]].


11/7 is [[22/21]] (about 80.) above the [[3/2]] perfect fifth, allowing the possibility of a resolution down by a step from 11/7 to 3/2.
However, it is only flat of the [[128/81|Pythagorean minor sixth]] (about 792.2{{c}}) by a [[896/891|pentacircle comma (896/891)]], which makes it function sometimes as a minor sixth, hence the names. For one thing, as it is 22/21 (about 80.5{{c}}) above the perfect fifth, it can be resolved down by a step to the perfect fifth.
 
It is flat of the 5-limit minor sixth of [[8/5]] (about 813.7{{c}}) by [[56/55]]. It is sharp of the 7-limit subminor sixth of [[14/9]] (about 764.9{{c}}) by a mothwellsma, [[99/98]]. And finally, it is sharp of the classic augmented fifth of [[25/16]] (about 772.6{{c}}) by a valinorsma, [[176/175]].

{{Interval edo approximation|11/7}}
 
== Proximity with acoustic pi ==
[[22/7]], one octave higher, is a fraction convergent to the continued fraction of acoustic pi. Such is the exactness, that 22/7π is an [[unnoticeable comma]] of only 0.7 cents.
