{wiki=Apotome_(mathematics)}
In mathematics, specifically in the context of number theory, an "apotome" refers to a specific ratio or interval. The term originates from ancient Greek mathematics, where it was used to describe the difference between two musical tones or intervals. More precisely, the apotome is defined as the larger of two segments of the division of a musical whole.
