496edo is [[enfactoring|enfactored]] in the 11-limit, with the same tuning as [[248edo]], but the [[patent val]]s differ on the mapping for 13. In the 13-limit patent val, it tempers out [[4225/4224]].
496edo is good with the 2.3.11.19 subgroup, for low-complexity just intonation. Higher limits that it appreciates are 31, 37, and 47.


In the 2.3.11.19 subgroup, 496edo tempers out 131072/131043.  
496edo is good with the 2.3.11.19 [[subgroup]]. For higher limits, it has good approximations of [[31/1|31]], [[37/1|37]], and [[47/1|47]]. In the 2.3.11.19 subgroup, it tempers out 131072/131043.  


496 is the 3rd perfect number, and its divisors are {{EDOs|1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 31, 62, 124, 248}}, the most notable being 31.
=== Odd harmonics ===
{{Harmonics in equal|496}}


496edo is contorted order 2 up to the 11-limit, meaning it shares the mapping with 248edo. As such, in the 11-limit it is a compound of two chains of 11-limit bischismic temperaments.  In the 13-limit patent val, first step where 496edo is not contorted, it tempers out 4225/4224.
=== Subsets and supersets ===
496 is the 3rd {{w|perfect number}}, factoring into {{factorization|496}}. Its nontrivial divisors are {{EDOs| 2, 4, 8, 16, 31, 62, 124, 248 }}, the most notable being 31.
 
== Scales ==
Since 496edo is enfactored 248edo, in the 11-limit it can represent a [[compound scale|compound]] of two chains of 11-limit [[bischismic]] temperaments, interlaced.
