The '''6 million divisions of the octave''' divides the 2/1 into steps of exactly 0.0002 cent, or 200 microcent each. | The '''6 million divisions of the octave,''' or '''literal microtonal system,''' divides the 2/1 into steps of exactly 0.0002 cent, or 200 microcent each. | ||
While this system is absurdly large for any human application, from a technical standpoint it is the only one that rightfully bears the name [[Microtonal|'''microtonal''']], since it divides a tone, which is 1/6th of an octave, into 1'000'000 steps, and the SI prefix "micro-" denotes division of a unit into 1 million parts. | While this system is absurdly large for any human application, from a technical standpoint it is the only one that rightfully bears the name [[Microtonal|'''microtonal''']], since it divides a tone, which is 1/6th of an octave, into 1'000'000 steps, and the SI prefix "micro-" denotes division of a unit into 1 million parts. | ||
