Various equal divisions of the octave have close approximations of acoustic phi, or <span><math>φ</math></span>, ≈833.090296357¢.
Various equal divisions of the octave have close approximations of [[acoustic phi]], or <math>φ</math>, ≈833.090296357¢.


If the <span><math>m^{th}</math></span> step of <span><math>n</math><span>ed2 is a close approximation of <span><math>φ</math></span>, the <span><math>n^{th}</math></span> step of <span><math>m</math><span>ed<span><math>φ</math></span> will be a close approximation of 2.
If the <math>m^{th}</math> step of <math>n</math><span>ed2 is a close approximation of <math>φ</math>, the <math>n^{th}</math> step of <math>m</math><span>ed<math>φ</math> will be a close approximation of 2.


For example, the 7th step of 10ed2 is 840¢, and the 10th step of 7ed<span><math>φ</math></span> is ≈1190.128995¢.

A couple such scales can be found in the [[Scala Scale Archive|Huygens-Fokker Foundation's Scala scale archive]]. They were described by Walter O'Connell in his 1993 paper [http://anaphoria.com/oconnell.pdf The Tonality of the Golden Section]. The 18th root of φ scale doubles the resolution of the 9th root scale featured above, as so as the 9th root of φ scale is similar to 13ed2 the 18th root of φ scale is similar to 26edo (which does a notably better job of approximating 3-, 5-, and 7- limit harmonies).
