'''136/135''', the ''diatisma'' or ''fiventeen comma'', is a [[17-limit]] [[small comma]]. It is equal to ([[32/27]])/([[20/17]]) and therefore ([[51/40]])/([[81/64]]). It is also [[1/2-square-particular|trivially]] the difference between between [[16/15]] and [[18/17]] and therefore the difference between [[17/16]] * [[16/15]] = [[17/15]] and [[18/17]] * [[17/16]] = [[9/8]].
