2. Perfect fifth - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_fifth

   In music theory, a perfect fifth is the musical interval corresponding to a pair of pitches with a frequency ratio of 3:2, or very nearly so. In classical music from Western culture, a fifth is the interval from the first to the last of the first five consecutive notes in a diatonic scale. [ 1 ] The perfect fifth (often abbreviated P5) spans ...

   The extremes of the meantone systems encountered in historical practice are the Pythagorean tuning, where the whole tone corresponds to 9:8, i.e. ⁠ (3:2) 2 / 2 ⁠, the mean of the major third ⁠ (3:2) 4 / 4 ⁠, and the fifth (3:2) is not tempered; and the 1 ⁄ 3-comma meantone, where the fifth is tempered to the extent that three ...

4. Pythagorean interval - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_interval

   Pythagorean interval. Pythagorean perfect fifth on C ⓘ: C-G (3/2 ÷ 1/1 = 3/2). In musical tuning theory, a Pythagorean interval is a musical interval with a frequency ratio equal to a power of two divided by a power of three, or vice versa. [ 1 ] For instance, the perfect fifth with ratio 3/2 (equivalent to 3 1 / 2 1) and the perfect fourth ...

5. Pythagorean tuning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_tuning

   Comparison of equal-tempered (black) and Pythagorean (green) intervals showing the relationship between frequency ratio and the intervals' values, in cents. Pythagorean tuning is a system of musical tuning in which the frequency ratios of all intervals are determined by choosing a sequence of fifths [2] which are "pure" or perfect, with ratio .

6. Perfect number - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_number

   For instance, 6 has proper divisors 1, 2 and 3, and 1 + 2 + 3 = 6, so 6 is a perfect number. The next perfect number is 28, since 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14 = 28. The first four perfect numbers are 6, 28, 496 and 8128. [1] The sum of proper divisors of a number is called its aliquot sum, so a perfect number is one that is equal to its aliquot sum.

7. Ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratio

   As for fractions, the simplest form is considered that in which the numbers in the ratio are the smallest possible integers. Thus, the ratio 40:60 is equivalent in meaning to the ratio 2:3, the latter being obtained from the former by dividing both quantities by 20. Mathematically, we write 40:60 = 2:3, or equivalently 40:60∷2:3.

8. Heptagram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heptagram

   There are two regular heptagrams, labeled as {7/2} and {7/3}, with the second number representing the vertex interval step from a regular heptagon, {7/1}. This is the smallest star polygon that can be drawn in two forms, as irreducible fractions. The two heptagrams are sometimes called the heptagram (for {7/2}) and the great heptagram (for {7/3}).

9. Multiplication table - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplication_table

   Multiplication table. In mathematics, a multiplication table (sometimes, less formally, a times table) is a mathematical table used to define a multiplication operation for an algebraic system. The decimal multiplication table was traditionally taught as an essential part of elementary arithmetic around the world, as it lays the foundation for ...
