The <b>66 equal division</b> or <b>66-EDO</b> divides the octave into 66 equal parts of 18.182 cents each. The patent is contorted in the 5-limit, tempering out the same commas 250/243, 2048/2025 and 3125/3072 as [[22edo|22edo]]. In the 7-limit it tempers out 686/675 and 1029/1024, in the 11-limit 55/54, 100/99 and 121/120, in the 13-limit 91/90, 169/168, 196/195 and in the 17-limit 136/135 and 256/255. It provides the [[Optimal_patent_val|optimal patent val]] for 11- and 13-limit [[Porcupine_family#Ammonite|ammonite temperament]].

The 66b val tempers out 16875/16384 in the 5-limit, 126/125, 1728/1715 and 2401/2400 in the 7-limit, 99/98 and 385/384 in the 11-limit, and 105/104, 144/143 and 847/845 in the 13-limit.

The [[patent val]] of 66edo is [[contorted]] in the 5-limit, [[tempering out]] the same [[comma]]s ([[250/243]], [[2048/2025]], [[3125/3072]], etc.) as [[22edo]]. In the 7-limit it tempers out [[686/675]] and [[1029/1024]], in the 11-limit [[55/54]], [[100/99]] and [[121/120]], in the 13-limit [[91/90]], [[169/168]], [[196/195]] and in the 17-limit [[136/135]] and [[256/255]]. It provides the [[optimal patent val]] for the 11- and 13-limit [[ammonite]] temperament. Otherwise, 66edo is not exceptional when it comes to approximating prime harmonics; however, it contains a quite accurate approximation to the 5:7:9:11:13 chord and can therefore be used for various [[primodal]] [[over-5]] scales.
 
The 66b val tempers out [[16875/16384]] in the 5-limit, [[126/125]], [[1728/1715]] and [[2401/2400]] in the 7-limit, [[99/98]] and [[385/384]] in the 11-limit, and [[105/104]], [[144/143]] and [[847/845]] in the 13-limit.
 
109 steps of 66edo is extremely close to the [[acoustic pi]] with only +0.023{{c}} of error.
 
=== Odd harmonics ===
{{Harmonics in equal|66}}
 
=== Subsets and supersets ===
Since 66 factors into {{factorization|66}}, 66edo has subset edos {{EDOs| 2, 3, 6, 11, 22, and 33 }}. [[198edo]], which triples it, corrects its approximation to many of the lower harmonics.

== Notation ==
=== Sagittal notation ===
This notation uses the same sagittal sequence as [[59edo#Sagittal notation|59-EDO]], and is a superset of the notations for EDOs [[22edo#Sagittal notation|22]] and [[11edo#Sagittal notation|11]].

In the diagrams above, a sagittal symbol followed by an equals sign (=) means that the following comma is the symbol's [[Sagittal notation#Primary comma|primary comma]] (the comma it ''exactly'' represents in JI), while an approximately equals sign (≈) means it is a secondary comma (a comma it ''approximately'' represents in JI). In both cases the symbol exactly represents the tempered version of the comma in this EDO.
