The '''square root of [[25/24]]''' ('''sqrt(25/24)''') is an interval measuring approximately 35.336{{cent}} that allows to pass from a just major third (5/4) to a just minor third (6/5) by [[equal contrary motion]], and vice versa.

Let be two voices forming a 5/4 interval. If the lower voice goes up by a sqrt(25/24) and the upper voice goes down by the same interval, the next interval formed by the two voices will be a 6/5 interval.

[[34edo|34-edo]] has such an excellent sqrt(25/24) that the next EDO to have a better one is [[441edo|441]].
