'''16afdo''' ([[AFDO|arithmetic frequency division of the octave]]), or '''16-ODO''' ([[otonal division]] of the octave), divides the octave into 16 parts of 1/16 each. As a scale it may be known as [[Harmonic mode|mode 16 of the harmonic series]] or the [[Overtone scale #Over-n scales|Over-16]] scale. Because 16 is a power of 2, 16afdo corresponds to the 16th to 32nd harmonics octave-reduced.
'''16afdo''' ([[AFDO|arithmetic frequency division of the octave]]), or '''16-ODO''' ([[otonal division]] of the octave), divides the octave into 16 parts of 1/16 each. It is a superset of [[15afdo]] and a subset of [[17afdo]]. As a scale it may be known as [[Harmonic mode|mode 16 of the harmonic series]] or the [[Overtone scale #Over-n scales|Over-16]] scale. Because 16 is a power of 2, 16afdo corresponds to the 16th to 32nd harmonics octave-reduced.
 
The smallest [[edo]] that maintains 25% or lower relative error on all intervals of 16afdo is [[311edo]].
