Quintile reaches the interval class of 5 by five perfect fifths (i.e. a major seventh) plus two periods of 1/5-octave. It is a member of the [[syntonic–diatonic equivalence continuum]] with {{nowrap| ''n'' {{=}} 5 }}, so it equates a [[256/243|Pythagorean limma]] with a stack of five [[81/80|syntonic commas]].

Quintile reaches the interval class of 5 by five [[3/2|perfect fifths]] (i.e. a major seventh) plus two periods of 1/5-octave; this two-period interval represents a grave fourth of [[320/243]], that is, a [[4/3|perfect fourth]] minus a [[81/80|syntonic comma]]. Quintile is a member of the [[syntonic–diatonic equivalence continuum]] with {{nowrap| ''n'' {{=}} 5 }}, so it equates a [[256/243|Pythagorean limma]] with a stack of five [[81/80|syntonic commas]].

The temperament was first introduced by [[Mike Battaglia]] in 2011 along with other temperaments in the continuum mentioned above<ref>[https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning/topicId_99315.html#99323 Yahoo!

In 2024, the community has decided to rename it for fear of confusion with the more common usage of the term ''pental'' to refer to the [[5-limit]].
