Much like vals allow us to express the way that prime intervals are mapped within an EDO, a monzo allows us to express how any "composite" interval is represented in terms of those simpler prime intervals. They are typically written using the notation |a b c d e f ... &gt;, where the columns represent how the primes 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, etc, in that order, contribute to the interval's prime factorization, up to some [[harmonic limit|prime limit]].

For example, the interval 15/8 can be thought of as having 5*3 in the numerator, and 2*2*2 in the denominator. This can be compactly represented by the expression 2^-3 * 3^1 * 5^1, which is exactly equal to 15/8. We construct the monzo by taking the exponent from each prime, in order, and placing them within the |.........&gt; brackets, hence yielding |-3 1 1&gt;.
