In [[3-limit]] [[just intonation]], '''16/9''' is the '''Pythagorean minor seventh''', at about 996.1 cents. It is equal to two [[perfect fourth]]s, or (4/3)×(4/3), and is thus the [[octave reduced]] form of the ninth [[subharmonic]]. It differs from the nearby [[5-limit]] minor seventh [[9/5]] (~1017.6 cents) by the syntonic comma of [[81/80]] (~21.5 cents), and the [[7-limit]] minor seventh [[7/4]] (~968.8 cents) by the septimal comma of [[64/63]] (~27.3 cents). | In [[3-limit]] [[just intonation]], '''16/9''' is the '''Pythagorean minor seventh''', at about 996.1 cents.
