The '''Pythagorean''' or '''ditonic comma''' is the interval with the ratio '''531441/524288''' (= {{Monzo| -19 12 }}). It could also be called the 12-comma as it is the amount by which twelve fifths exceed seven octaves, or in other words (3/2)<sup>12</sup>/2<sup>7</sup> and it also can be written as the ratio between the apotome and the Pythagorean minor second, ([[2187/2048]])/([[256/243]]). | The '''Pythagorean''' or '''ditonic comma''' is the interval with the ratio '''531441/524288''' (= {{Monzo| -19 12 }}).
