'''3136/3125''', the '''hemimean comma''' or '''didacus comma''', is a [[7-limit]] [[small comma]] measuring about 6.1{{cent}}. It is the difference between a stack of five classic major thirds ([[5/4]]) and a stack of two subminor sevenths ([[7/4]]). Perhaps more importantly, it is ([[28/25]])2/([[5/4]]), and ~~because~~ [[28/25]] = ([[7/5]])/([[5/4]]), it is also ([[28/25]])3/([[7/5]]), which means its square is equal to the difference between ([[28/25]])5 and [[7/4]]. The associated temperament has the highly favourable property of putting a number of low complexity 2.5.7 subgroup intervals on a short chain of [[28/25]]'s, itself a 2.5.7 subgroup interval.

In terms of commas, it is the difference between the septimal semicomma ([[126/125]]) and the septimal kleisma ([[225/224]]), or between the augmented comma ([[128/125]]) and the jubilisma ([[50/49]]).
