289/288, the septendecimal semitones comma or the septendecimal 6-cent comma, is a 17-limit (also 2.3.17 subgroup) superparticular comma of about 6 cents. It is the difference between 17/16 and 18/17, as well as between 17/12 and 24/17. Tempering it out leads the octave split into two equal parts, each representing 17/12~24/17. Odd EDOs cannot temper it out.
