In [[5-limit]] [[just intonation]], '''8/5''' is a '''minor sixth''', measuring about 813.7{{cent}}. It is the [[octave-reduced]] fifth [[subharmonic]], and thus the inversion of [[5/4]], the classic major third. It appears in chords where the 1/1 is higher than the 5/4, such as 5:6:8 (a first-inversion major triad). It is a large half step of [[16/15]] (about 111.7{{cent}}) sharp of [[3/2]], and a syntonic comma ([[81/80]], about 21.5{{cent}}) sharp of the [[Pythagorean tuning|Pythagorean]] minor sixth of [[128/81]] (about 792.2{{cent}}).
