In 17-limit just intonation, 26/17 is the septendecimal superfifth. It differs from the 3/2 perfect fifth by the comma 52/51, about 33.6¢. Although this difference is considerable, 26/17 may be used as a wide perfect fifth, thus allowing septendecimal versions of root-3rd-P5 chords – in particular, 17:20:26, 17:21:26, 17:22:26.

26/17 is the mediant of 3/2 and 23/15.

It is less than 0.2 cents sharp of 31edo's superfifth of 735.48¢ (19\31).
