113.6850 cents
The '''apotome''', also known as the '''Pythagorean chromatic semitone''' or the '''Pythagorean major semitone''', is the interval 3<sup>7</sup>/2<sup>11</sup> = 2187/2048 which is the chromatic semitone in the [[Pythagorean tuning|Pythagorean]] ([[3-limit]]) version of the diatonic scale. Unlike the situation in [[meantone]] tunings, it is larger, not smaller, than the corresponding diatonic semitone, which is the Pythagorean minor second of [[256/243]]. It measures about 113.7¢ and can be generated by stacking seven [[3/2]] perfect fifths and octave-reducing the resulting interval.

The ''apotome'', also known as the Pythagorean chromatic semitone or the Pythagorean major semitone, is the interval 3^7/2^11 = 2187/2048 which is the chromatic semitone in the Pythagorean (3-limit) version of the diatonic scale. Unlike the situation in meantone tunings, it is larger, not smaller, than the corresponding diatonic semitone, which is the Pythagorean minor second of [[256/243|256/243]]. It measures about 113.7¢ and can be generated by stacking seven [[3/2|3/2]] perfect fifths and octave-reducing the resulting interval.
