120edo shares the [[perfect fifth]] with 12edo, [[tempering out]] the [[Pythagorean comma]]. 120edo is an excellent tuning in the 2.3.7.11.13.23.29 [[subgroup]]. In the no-5's 11-limit, it tempers out [[243/242]]. In the patent val 120edo is also a tuning for the 7-limit [[decoid]] temperament.
The revision contents are below, presented both in the original Wikispaces Wikitext format, and in HTML exactly as Wikispaces rendered it.<br>
 
<h4>Original Wikitext content:</h4>
The 120bdd val is a tuning for [[superpyth]] where 3/2 is tuned to exactly 710{{c}}. It may be used as a ''de facto'' dual fifth in [[Substitute harmonic#Newcome|newcome]] temperament.

Its patent val is contorted only through the 3-limit and does not temper out 81/80 in the 5-limit or 64/63 and 5120/5103 in the 7-limit. However, 5120/5103 is done about as badly as this interval can be done relative to an equal division, falling close to exactly in the middle of a step (1\120 is ~42.42 relative cents sharp of it). Being the simplest division of the octave by the Germanic [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_hundred|long hundred]], it has a unit step which is the fine relative cent of [[1edo]]</pre></div>

=== Subsets and supersets ===
120edo is the 10th highly composite edo and the 5th factorial edo (since {{nowrap|120 {{=}} 5!}} {{nowrap|{{=}} 1 × 2 × 3 × 4 × 5}}). It has many subsets: {{EDOs| 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 40, and 60 }}.
 
=== Miscellaneous properties ===
120edo also has a [[concoctic]] generator that resembles the leap day excess of earth, 29\120 corresponding to 5 hours and 48 minutes.
