| A '''cent''' (abbreviated to c or ¢) is the conventional measurement unit of the logarithmic distance between [[frequency|frequencies]]; in other words, the size of the [[interval]] between them. A cent is defined as a frequency ratio of 2^(1/1200), or a factor of about 1.0005778, such that the octave ([[2/1]]) spans exactly 1200 cents, and therefore that each step of [[12edo]] spans exactly 100.
