The '''2.3.7 subgroup'''<ref>Sometimes incorrectly named '''2.3.7-limit''' or '''2.3.7-prime limit'''; a [[prime limit]] is a subgroup spanned by all primes up to a given prime, and "limit" used alone usually implies prime limit.</ref> ('''za''' in [[color notation]]) is a [[just intonation subgroup]] consisting of [[rational interval]]s where 2, 3, and 7 are the only allowable [[prime factor]]s, so that every such interval may be written as a ratio of integers which are products of 2, 3, and 7. This is an infinite set ~~and still infinite~~ even ~~if we restrict consideration~~ to a single octave. Some examples within the [[octave]] include [[3/2]], [[7/4]], [[7/6]], [[9/7]], [[9/8]], [[21/16]], and so on.

The 2.3.7 subgroup is a retraction of the [[7-limit]], obtained by removing prime 5. Its simplest expansion is the [[2.3.7.11 subgroup]], which adds prime 11.
