The '''schisma''', '''32805/32768''', is the difference between the [[Pythagorean comma]] and the [[syntonic comma]]. It is equal to ([[9/8]])<sup>4</sup>/([[8/5]]) and to ([[135/128]])/([[256/243]]) and also to ([[9/8]])<sup>3</sup>/([[64/45]]). Tempering it out gives a [[5-limit]] microtemperament called [[Schismatic family#Schismatic aka Helmholtz|schismatic, schismic or Helmholtz]], which if extended to larger subgroups leads to the [[schismatic family]] of temperaments. | The '''schisma''', '''32805/32768''', is the difference between the [[Pythagorean comma]] and the [[syntonic comma]].

The schisma | The schisma explains how the greatly composite numbers 1048576 (2<sup>20</sup>) and 104976 (18<sup>4</sup>) look alike in decimal. The largest common power of two between these numbers is 2<sup>5</sup>, and when reduced by that, 1049760/1048576 becomes 32805/32768. | ||
