596.9996 cents
In [[17-limit]] [[just intonation]], '''24/17''' is the "smaller septendecimal tritone", measuring very nearly 597¢. It is the [[mediant]] between [[7/5]] and [[17/12]], the "larger septendecimal tritone." The two septendecimal tritones are each 3¢ away from the 600¢ half-octave, and so they are well-represented in all even-numbered [[EDO]] systems, including [[12edo]]. Indeed, the latter system, containing good approximations of the 3rd and 17th harmonics, can use the half-octave as 24/17 and 17/12 in close approximations to chords such as 8:12:17 and 16:17:24. [[22edo]] is another good EDO system for using the half-octave in this way.

In [[17-limit|17-limit]] [[Just_intonation|Just Intonation]], 24/17 is the "first septendecimal tritone," measuring very nearly 597¢. It is the [[mediant|mediant]] between [[7/5|7/5]] and [[17/12|17/12]], the "second septendecimal tritone."
