In [[5-limit]] [[just intonation]], '''15/8''' is a '''major seventh''' of about 1088.3¢. It is also the 15th overtone ([[octave-reduced]]), and appears as a complex consonance in chords such as 8:10:12:15, a just version of a major seventh chord. Since 15 is 3×5, it can be seen as a perfect fifth above a major third or vice versa, and this understanding is compatible with the 1100¢ interval of [[12edo]].
In [[5-limit]] [[just intonation]], '''15/8''' is the '''classic major seventh''' of about 1088.3¢. It is also the 15th [[harmonic]] ([[octave-reduced]]), and appears as a complex consonance in chords such as 8:10:12:15, a just version of a major seventh chord. Since 15 is 3×5, it can be seen as a perfect fifth above a major third or vice versa, and this understanding is compatible with the 1100¢ interval of [[12edo]].


Since 15 is a perfect fifth above 10 (15/10 = [[3/2]]), [[List of root-3rd-P5 triads in JI|root-3rd-P5 triads]] can be formed with the 10th harmonic as root and 15th harmonic as perfect fifth. The simplest and most familiar example is the classic minor triad 10:12:15 – a [[6/5]] with a [[5/4]] stacked on top of it. Another is the Barbados triad, 10:13:15 – a [[13/10]] on bottom and a [[15/13]] on top. And a particularly uncommon but mentionable example is the [[23-limit]] inframinor triad 20:23:30.
