seventeenths
Divided by seventeen
Seventeenths are parts of something divided into seventeen equal portions, or positions in a sequence of seventeen.
As fractions go, seventeenths are unwieldy—seventeen being prime, they don't reduce or convert to tidy decimals: Each heir received one seventeenth of the estate.
In music, a seventeenth is an interval spanning two octaves plus a third.
