'''4ado''' is the [[ADO|arithmetic equal division of the octave]] into four parts of 1/4 each. 4ado is perhaps the smallest ADO that contains useful intervals for harmony, containing the major third, perfect fifth, and harmonic seventh. It is just barely large enough to be usable as a scale.
 
'''4afdo''' ([[AFDO|arithmetic division of the octave]]), or '''4odo''' ([[otonal division]] of the octave), divides the octave into four parts of 1/4 each. It is a superset of [[3afdo]] and a subset of [[5afdo]]. As a scale it may be known as [[Harmonic mode|mode 4 of the harmonic series]] or the [[Overtone scale #Over-n scales|Over-4]] scale. Because 4 is a power of 2, 4afdo corresponds to the 4th to 8th harmonics octave-reduced. The notes of 4afdo create a [[4:5:6:7|harmonic seventh chord]].
 
The smallest [[edo]]s that maintain 25% or lower relative error on all intervals of 4afdo are [[10edo]] and [[15edo]], though they are not very accurate. The next two edos, [[22edo]] and [[31edo]], are the smallest that approximate 4afdo with appreciable accuracy.
