In 3-limit just intonation, 16/9 is the Pythagorean minor seventh, at about 996.1 cents. It is equal to two perfect fourths, or (4/3)×(4/3), and is thus the octave reduced form of the ninth subharmonic. It differs from the nearby 5-limit minor seventh 9/5 (~1017.6 cents) by the syntonic comma of 81/80 (~21.5 cents), and the 7-limit minor seventh 7/4 (~968.8 cents) by the septimal comma of 64/63 (~27.3 cents).
