15/14 is very accurately approximated by [[10edo]] (1\10) and all [[linus]] temperaments. The [[linus comma]], 5.6¢, is the amount by which a stack of ten 15/14's falls short of the octave. | 15/14 is very accurately approximated by [[10edo]] (1\10) and all [[linus]] temperaments.

In combination with [[19/17]] it forms a good approximation of [[golden meantone]]. The untempered combination of five 19/17's and two 15/14's leads to an interval that is sharp to an octave by the [[mercurial comma]]: (19/17)<sup>5</sup> × (15/14)<sup>2</sup> = 2 / (mercurial comma). | In combination with [[19/17]] it forms a good approximation of [[golden meantone]].
