Original Wikitext content:
Superpartient numbers are ratios of the form (n+m)/n, or 1+m/n, where m is not n or a whole-number multiple of n, and where n is a whole number other than 1. In ancient Greece they were called Epimeric (epimerēs) ratios, which is literally translated as "above a part." These ratios were considered to be inferior to Epimoric ratios. All epimeric ratios can be constructed as combinations of [[superparticular|superparticular numbers]]. For example, 9/5 is 3/2 × 6/5.
