The '''fifive comma''' is a [[medium comma|medium]] [[5-limit]] [[comma]] with a width of about a third of a semitone. It is the amount that a stack of five [[27/25]]'s falls short of [[3/2]] by, and also the amount by which a stack of ten [[5/3]]'s [[octave reduction|octave-reduced]] exceeds [[81/64]]. | |||
[[Tempering out]] this interval leads to the [[fifive family]] of temperaments, where the perfect fifth is divided into five equal parts and the octave is split in half. [[26edo]] and [[34edo]] are two notable examples of [[edo]]s that support the basic 5-limit temperament in this family, simply known as [[fifive]]. | |||
