We will start with a string which is pulled tight enough to vibrate at 288 Hertz when
plucked. Let the length of the string be 1 unit. We can find additional nice sounding
notes by using a string of a smaller length with the same amount of tension. To find
the string lengths, we need to use fractions whose numerators are powers of 2 and
whose denominators are powers of 3 (which are larger than ½, but smaller than 1).
The first few fractions are given below. Determine the remaining fractions:

The string lengths are fractions whose numerators are powers of 2 and denominators are powers of 3, and the fractions are larger than 1/2 but smaller than 1.

Some powers of 2 are:

2⁰ = 1, 2¹ = 2, 2² = 4, 2³ = 8, 2⁴ = 16, 2⁵ = 32, 2⁶ = 64, 2⁷ = 128, 2⁸ = 256, 2⁹ = 512, 2¹⁰ = 1024, 2¹¹ = 2048, 2¹² = 4096, 2¹³ = 8192, 2¹⁴ = 16384, 2¹⁵ = 32768, 2¹⁶ = 65536, and 2¹⁷ = 131072.

Some powers of 3 are:

3⁰ = 1, 3¹ = 3, 3² = 9, 3³ = 27, 3⁴ = 81, 3⁵ = 243, 3⁶ = 729, 3⁷ = 2187, 2⁸ = 6561, 3⁹ = 19683, 3¹⁰ = 59049, and 3¹¹ = 177147.

The fractions, for which the numerator is a power of 2, the denominator is a power of 3, and the value is between 1/2 and 1 are:

2/3, 8/9, 16/27, 64/81, 128/243, 512/729, 2048/2187, 4096/6516, 16384/19683, 32768/59049, 131072/177147.

Thus, the series of fractions is 1, 2/3, 8/9, 16/27, 64/81, 128/243, 512/729, 2048/2187, 4096/6516, 16384/19683, 32768/59049, 131072/177147.
