| Interval information |
847/845, the cuthbert comma, is a small 13-limit (also 5.7.11.13-subgroup) comma measuring about 4.09 ¢. It is the difference between 7/5 and a stack of two 13/11's.
In terms of full 13-limit commas, it is the difference between the following superparticular pairs:
Meanwhile, it can be factorized as (1001/1000)⋅(2200/2197) or (441/440)⋅(10648/10647).
In the 5.7.11.13 subgroup, it is the simplest comma of its size (and the smallest of its complexity) by an extremely large margin. For comparison, 637/625 is about as simple but much larger, and 2941225/2924207 is significantly more complex yet still twice as large.
Temperaments
Tempering out this comma in the 13-limit results in the rank-5 cuthbert temperament and enables the cuthbert chords.
Tempering it out in the 5.7.11.13 subgroup leads to an extremely efficient rank-3 temperament.
