The interval '''256/243''', the '''Pythagorean limma''', or '''Pythagorean diatonic semitone''' factors as 2<sup>8</sup>/3<sup>5</sup>, is about 90.2 [[cent]]s in size, and is the [[diatonic semitone]] in [[Pythagorean tuning]]. It can be generated by stacking five [[4/3]] just perfect fourths and [[Octave reduction|octave-reducing]] the resulting interval.
