What it means

How wide is that interval?

Cents describe intervals, not pitches. A note needs a reference — usually A = 440 Hz — before an interval becomes a frequency.

The math

How to convert × to ¢

Cents are a logarithm of the ratio: cents = 1200 × log₂(ratio), and back again ratio = 2^(cents ÷ 1200). Adding cents multiplies ratios.

Example: 700 × = 11,341.5 ¢.
