2460edo is [[consistency|distinctly consistent]] through to the [[27-odd-limit]], which is not very remarkable in itself ([[388edo]] is the first such system), but what is remarkable is the degree of accuracy to which it represents the 27-odd-limit intervals (see [[#Approximation to JI]]). It is also a [[zeta peak edo]], and it has been used in [[Sagittal notation]] to define the ''olympian level'' of JI notation.


2460 is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 41, 60, 82, 123, 164, 205, 246, 410, 492, 615, 820, and 1230. Of these, [[12edo]] is too well-known to need any introduction, [[41edo]] is an important system, and [[205edo]] has proponents such as [[Aaron Andrew Hunt]], who uses it as the default tuning for [[http://www.h-pi.com/theory/measurement3.html|Hi-pi Instruments]] (and as a unit: [[Mem]]). Aside from these, [[15edo]], [[20edo]], [[30edo]], [[60edo]], and [[164edo]] all have drawn some attention. Moreover a cent is exactly 2.05 minas, and a mem, 1/205 octaves, is exactly 12 minas.
As a micro- (or nano-) temperament, it is a [[landscape]] system in the [[7-limit]], [[tempering out]] [[250047/250000]], and in the [[11-limit]] it tempers out [[9801/9800]]. Beyond that, it tempers out [[10648/10647]] in the [[13-limit]], [[12376/12375]] in the [[17-limit]], 5929/5928 and 6860/6859 in the [[19-limit]]; and 8281/8280 in the [[23-limit]].

=== Subsets and supersets ===
2460 is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 41, 60, 82, 123, 164, 205, 246, 410, 492, 615, 820, and 1230. Of these, &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/12edo"&gt;12edo&lt;/a&gt; is too well-known to need any introduction, &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/41edo"&gt;41edo&lt;/a&gt; is an important system, and &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/205edo"&gt;205edo&lt;/a&gt; has proponents such as &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/Aaron%20Andrew%20Hunt"&gt;Aaron Andrew Hunt&lt;/a&gt;, who uses it as the default tuning for &lt;a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://www.h-pi.com/theory/measurement3.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;Hi-pi Instruments&lt;/a&gt; (and as a unit: &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/Mem"&gt;Mem&lt;/a&gt;). Aside from these, &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/15edo"&gt;15edo&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/20edo"&gt;20edo&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/30edo"&gt;30edo&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/60edo"&gt;60edo&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/164edo"&gt;164edo&lt;/a&gt; all have drawn some attention. Moreover a cent is exactly 2.05 minas, and a mem, 1/205 octaves, is exactly 12 minas.&lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html&gt;</pre></div>
2460 is divisible by {{EDOs| 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 41, 60, 82, 123, 164, 205, 246, 410, 492, 615, 820, and 1230 }}, and its [[abundancy index]] is 1.868. Of the divisors, [[12edo]] is too well-known to need any introduction, [[41edo]] is an important system, and [[205edo]] has proponents such as [[Aaron Andrew Hunt]], who uses it as the default tuning for [http://www.h-pi.com/theory/measurement3.html Hi-pi Instruments] (and as a unit: [[mem]]). Aside from these, [[15edo]] is notable for use by [[Easley Blackwood Jr.]], [[60edo]] is a [[highly composite edo]]. In addition, 2460edo maps the [[schisma]] to an exact fraction of the octave, 4 steps. However, such mapping does not hold in [[615edo]].
 
In light of having a large amount of divisors and precise approximation of just intonation, 2460edo has been proposed as the basis for a unit, the [[mina]], which could be used in place of the cent. Moreover, a cent is exactly 2.05 [[mina]]s, and a mem, 1\205, is exactly 12 minas.
 
2460edo is also notable for being the smallest edo that is a multiple of 12 to be [[purely consistent]] in the 15-odd-limit (i.e. it is the smallest edo that is a multiple of 12 which maintains [[relative interval error|relative error]]s of less than 25% on all of the first 16 harmonics of the harmonic series). [[72edo]] comes close, but its approximations to [[13/8]] and [[15/8]] are somewhat inaccurate.

* 2460edo has lower 23-limit relative error than any edo until [[8269edo|8269]]. Also it has a lower 23-limit [[TE logflat badness]] than any smaller edo and less than any until [[16808edo|16808]].
* In addition, it has the lowest relative error in the 19-limit, being only bettered by [[3395edo]].
