'''25/24''', the '''classic''' or '''just chromatic semitone''' (short: '''chroma'''), 70.672 cents, is the [[superparticular]] ratio which marks the difference between the 5-limit seconds, [[16/15]] and [[10/9]], [[27/25]] and [[9/8]], thirds, [[6/5]] and [[5/4]], sixths, [[8/5]] and [[5/3]], and sevenths, [[16/9]] and [[50/27]], and [[9/5]] and [[15/8]] . It is therefore the amount which sharpens or flattens a 5-limit second, third, sixth, or seventh, and when notating 5-limit just intonation it can be associated with the sharp or flat symbol, and along with an additional symbol for the [[81/80]] comma, it can be used for a complete system of [[5-limit]] notation.

==Approximation==
== Approximation ==
25/24 is very accurately approximated by 17edo's 1\17 (70.588¢). In fact, the interval that results from stacking seventeen 25/24 chromatic semitones reduced by an octave is the [[septendecima]], only 1.428¢ in size.

==Temperaments==
== Temperaments ==
If 25/24 is treated as a comma to be tempered out, you remove the distinction between major and minor thirds and get only a single neutral interval in their place as in [[dicot family]], and edos like [[10edo]] or [[17edo]].
