The undecimal octatonic comma, 214990848/214358881, is the amount by which a stack of eight 12/11 intervals exceeds the octave. Since it equates eight of one interval with an octave, it is tempered out if and only if the number of notes in the octave is a multiple of 8.

Tempering it out results in the octatonic temperament. For technical data see 8th-octave temperaments#Octatonic.
