It may contain numbers that are impractically large, exceedingly complex, or chosen arbitrarily. Novelty topics are often developed by a single person or a small group. As such, this page may also feature idiosyncratic terms, notations, or conceptual frameworks. |

332929/332928, the Sulbasutrisma, is an unnoticeable 2.3.17.577-subgroup comma which is the difference between 577/408 and its octave complement 816/577. It is also the difference between a stack of twice 577/576 and 289/288. As 577/408 is a convergent to sqrt(2), like 3/2, 7/5, 17/12, 41/29, 99/70, and 239/169, the comma separating the two is superparticular.
Etymology
This comma was named by Cole in 2024 after the Sulba Sutra, a classical Indian mathematical text from the third or fourth century BC that first mentioned this accurate approximation to the square root of two.
