603.0004 cents
In [[17-limit]] [[just intonation]], '''17/12''' is the "larger septendecimal tritone", measuring very nearly 603¢. Its inversion is the "first septendecimal tritone," [[24/17]], and the interval that separates them is the small [[comma]] [[289/288]], about 6¢. This difference is usually negligible, and tempering out this comma allows the 600¢ half-octave to function as both septendecimal tritones. Thus, every even-numbered [[EDO]] system contains a close approximation to these intervals.

17/12 is the [[mediant]] between the two septimal tritones [[7/5]] and [[10/7]].
