'''5/1''', the '''5th harmonic''', '''pentave''' or '''quintuple''', is the [[harmonic]] past [[4/1]] and before [[6/1]]. It is two [[octave]]s above [[5/4]], and is the basis of [[5-limit]] harmony, as many 5-limit intervals can be expressed as the difference between this and another harmonic.


'''5/1''' is the 5th [[harmonic]], or the '''pentave'''; two octaves above [[5/4|5/4]].
5/1 is on a list of integer harmonics that approximate closest a given stack of fifths, the error being the [[81/80|syntonic comma]].
