The overtone series can be mathematically generated by frequency ratios 1/1, 2/1, 3/1, 4/1, 5/1, 6/1, 7/1... ad infinitum.
The overtone series can be mathematically generated by [[Gallery of Just Intervals|frequency ratios]] 1/1, 2/1, 3/1, 4/1, 5/1, 6/1, 7/1... ad infinitum.
The undertone series is its inversion: 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/7... ad infinitum.
The undertone series is its inversion: 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/7... ad infinitum.
Steps between adjacent members of either series are called "superparticular," &amp; they appear in the form a/(a-1), eg. 4/3, 28/27, 33/32...
Steps between adjacent members of either series are called "[[superparticular]]," &amp; they appear in the form (n+1)/n, eg. 4/3, 28/27, 33/32...


In just intonation theory, the overtone series is often treated as the foundation of consonance.
