The '''400 equal divisions of the octave''' ('''400edo''') is the [[EDO|equal division of the octave]] into 400 parts of exact 3 [[cent]]s each.

400edo is consistent in the [[21-odd-limit]]. It tempers out the unidecma, {{monzo| -7 22 -12 }}, and the qintosec comma, {{monzo| 47 -15 -10 }}, in the 5-limit; [[2401/2400]], 1959552/1953125, and 14348907/14336000 in the 7-limit; 5632/5625, [[9801/9800]], 117649/117612, and [[131072/130977]] in the 11-limit; [[676/675]], [[1001/1000]], [[1716/1715]], [[2080/2079]], [[4096/4095]], [[4225/4224]] and 39366/39325 in the 13-limit, supporting the [[decoid]] temperament and the [[quinmite]] temperament.
400edo is a strong 17- and 19-limit system, [[consistency|distinctly and purely consistent]] to the [[21-odd-limit]]. It shares its excellent [[harmonic]] [[3/1|3]] with [[200edo]], which is a semiconvergent, while correcting the higher harmonics to near-just qualities.  


400edo doubles [[200edo]], which holds a record for the best 3/2 fifth approximation. 400 is also the number of years in the Gregorian calendar's leap cycle. 400edo supports the Sym454 calendar scale with 231\400 as the generator, which can be treated as 5/12 syntonic comma meantone, which is the first meantone in the continued fraction that offers good precision. Other items like 1/3 and 2/5 eventually become inconsistent with the edo.  
As an equal temperament, it [[tempering out|tempers out]] the unidecma, {{monzo| -7 22 -12 }}, and the quintosec comma, {{monzo| 47 -15 -10 }}, in the [[5-limit]]; [[2401/2400]], 1959552/1953125, and 14348907/14336000 in the [[7-limit]]; [[5632/5625]], [[9801/9800]], 117649/117612, and [[131072/130977]] in the [[11-limit]]; [[676/675]], [[1001/1000]], [[1716/1715]], [[2080/2079]], [[4096/4095]], [[4225/4224]] and 39366/39325 in the [[13-limit]], [[support]]ing the [[decoid]] temperament and the [[quinmite]] temperament. It tempers out [[936/935]], [[1156/1155]], [[2058/2057]], [[2601/2600]], [[4914/4913]] and [[24576/24565]] in the 17-limit, and 969/968, [[1216/1215]], [[1521/1520]], and [[1729/1728]] in the 19-limit.

Since 400 factors into 2<sup>4</sup> × 5<sup>2</sup>, 400edo has subset edos {{EDOs| 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 25, 40, 50, 80, 100, and 200 }}.

!Step
Of edos that are a multiple of 400, {{EDOs| 1600 and 2000}} are notable for their high consistency limits, as [[Interval size measure|interval size measures]], and perhaps as ways of tuning various temperaments.

* 400et has lower absolute errors than any previous equal temperaments in the 17- and 19-limit. It is the first to beat [[354edo|354]] in the 17-limit, and [[311edo|311]] in the 19-limit; it is bettered by [[422edo|422]] in either subgroup.
