The fifive comma is a 5-limit interval with a width of about a third of a semitone. It is the amount that a stack of 5 27/25s exceeds 3/2 by, and also the amount by which a stack of 10 5/3s exceeds harmonic 162.

Tempering out this interval leads to the fifive family of temperaments, where the perfect fifth is divided into 5 equal parts and the octave is split in half. 26edo and 34edo are two notable examples of edos that support the basic 5-limit temperament in this family, simply known as fifive.
