: It's important because tempering out 847/845 equates two of the simplest very small intervals in the 5.7.11.13 subgroup. That alone is enough justification. You are considering one thing (out of many) that can make a description of a comma useful, and taking its absence to mean that the description is useless. Consider the page for [[243/242]]; only two of the many equivalent expressions there don't use any other factors at all (2187/2048/(33/32)<sup>2</sup> is a particularly "bad" example) yet it would be hard to argue that they aren't useful or worth including.

- It's important because tempering out 847/845 equates two of the simplest very small intervals in the 5.7.11.13 subgroup. That alone is enough justification. You are considering one thing (out of many) that can make a description of a comma useful, and taking its absence to mean that the description is useless. Consider the page for 243/242; only two of the many equivalent expressions there don't use any other factors at all (2187/2048/(33/32)2 is a particularly "bad" example) yet it would be hard to argue that they aren't useful or worth including.
