2^(7/12) is the multiplier with respect to a base frequency to produce a perfect fifth interval in an equal tempered chromatic scale.
This constant is of interest because it is close to the just intonation perfect fifth coefficient of 1.5 (continued fraction [1, 2]). It is the closest to just intonation of the chromatic scale divisions other than the octaves (2*frequency), and unison (1*frequency). The perfect fifth is the most consonant division of the chromatic scale.
