'''2109375/2097152''' = {{Monzo| -21 3 7 }}, called the '''semicomma''' or '''Fokker comma''', is an interval of 10.061 [[cent]]s which is the amount by which three classic augmented second intervals of [[75/64]] exceed [[8/5]]. That means (75/64)^3/(8/5), which can also be written ((9/8)*(25/24))^3/(8/5). Tempering it out leads to [[orson]] temperament.
The '''semicomma''' or '''Fokker comma''' ([[ratio]]: 2109375/2097152, [[monzo]]: {{monzo| -21 3 7 }}), is an interval of 10.061 [[cent]]s which is the amount by which three classic augmented second intervals of [[75/64]] exceed [[8/5]]. That means (75/64)<sup>3</sup>/(8/5), which can also be written ((9/8)(25/24))<sup>3</sup>/(8/5). In terms of commas, it factors into simpler commas as ([[15625/15552]])([[32805/32768]]), the kleisma and the schisma. Tempering it out leads to [[orson]] temperament.
