A '''just intonation subgroup''' is a [[Wikipedia: Free abelian group|group]] generated by a finite set of positive rational numbers via arbitrary multiplications and divisions. Any such group will be contained in a [[Harmonic limit|''p''-limit]] group for some minimal choice of prime ''p'', which is the prime limit of the subgroup. | A '''just intonation subgroup''' is a [[Wikipedia: Free abelian group|group]] generated by a finite set of positive rational numbers via arbitrary multiplications and divisions.
