20/17: Difference between revisions

In 17-limit just intonation, 20/17 is the diatismic minor third, measuring about 281.4 ¢. It falls short of the Pythagorean minor third (32/27) by a diatisma (136/135), hence the name. It is the mediant of 7/6 and 13/11, as it is (7 + 13)/(6 + 11). It is found in the harmonic series between the 17th and 20th harmonics.
