The 5th too is very simple. It is 1.5x the root. So the the 8th of 440Hz is 880Hz, and the 5th is 660Hz. Western musical theory is amazingly fractional

- benrbray 6y agoActually, most music produced on physical instruments in the west doesn't have such nice ratios. I suggest reading about equal temperament (or watching some Adam Neely videos) if you're interested in learning more about how our tuning system diverges from the Pythagorean ideal.
