13/8 is a neutral sixth measuring about 840.5¢, falling between the categories of minor sixth and major sixth. In [[13-limit|13-limit]] [[Just_intonation|Just Intonation]], 13/8, as an octave-reduced 13th harmonic, is treated as a basic component of harmony. In the harmonic series and in chords based on it, 13/8 sits between the more familiar consonances of [[3/2|3/2]] and [[7/4|7/4]], separated from each by the [[superparticular|superparticular]] ratios [[13/12|13/12]] and [[14/13|14/13]], respectively. It differs from the [[11-limit|11-limit]] neutral sixth [[18/11|18/11]] by [[144/143|144/143]], about 12.1¢. | 13/8 is a neutral sixth measuring about 840.5¢, falling between the categories of minor sixth and major sixth.
