'''1729/1728''' is a [[19-limit]] (more accurately, 2.3.7.13.19 subgroup) [[superparticular]] interval and an [[unnoticeable comma]]. '''Massma'''<ref>referring to number 1728 being known as the ''Maß'' in German. </ref>, '''ramanujanisma'''<ref>referring to the anecdotal story of [[Wikipedia: Ramanujan|Ramanujan]] finding 1729 an interesting number. </ref>, and '''dodecentisma'''<ref>referring to the size being close to the cent relative to 12edo. </ref> have been proposed as the name. The comma forms the difference between the [[octave]] and a stack of [[7/6]], [[13/12]] and [[19/12]]. | '''1729/1728''' is a [[19-limit]] (more accurately, 2.3.7.13.19 subgroup) [[superparticular]] interval and an [[unnoticeable comma]].

Both the numerator and denominator of this interval are famous in mathematics. [[Wikipedia: 1728|1728]], being 12 to the 3rd power, is also known as mass. [[Wikipedia:1729|1729]] is known for being Ramanujan's number and the first number that can be expressed as a sum of more than 1 integer cubes. | Both the numerator and denominator of this interval are famous in mathematics.
