In particular, when ''k'' is 0, ''c'' is simply 1, because any number to the 0th power is 1. And when ''k'' = ''n'', ''c'' is simply ''p'', because any number to the 1st power is itself. | In particular, when ''k'' is 0, ''c'' is simply 1, because any number to the 0th power is 1.

What do 12ed2, 19ed3, and 28ed5 all have in common? They are all approximately the same scale. This happens because 12ed2 is an accurate temperament (for its size) that contains relatively close approximations of 3/1 and 5/1. In contrast, 11ed2 does not correspond closely to any equal division of 3/1 or 5/1. | What do 12ed2, 19ed3, and 28ed5 all have in common? They are all approximately the same scale.
