3600edo is consistent in the 5-odd-limit and it is a good 2.3.5.11.17.23.31.37.41 subgroup tuning.  
3600edo is consistent in the 5-limit and it is a good 2.3.5.11.17.23.31.37.41 subgroup tuning.  


In the 5-limit, 3600edo [[support|supports]] the [[ennealimmal temperament]], tempering out the ennealimma, {{monzo| 1 -27 18 }}, and (with the [[patent val]]) 2401/2400 and 4375/4374 in the [[7-limit]]. Via the 3600e [[val]] {{val| 3600 5706 8359 10106 12453}}, 3600edo also supports the [[hemiennealimmal temperament]] in the 11-limit.

An alternative 7-limit mapping is 3600d, with the 7 slightly sharp rather than slightly flat; this no longer supports ennealimmal, but it does temper out 52734375/52706752; together with the ennealimma that leads to a sort of strange sibling to ennealimmal temperament, more accurate but also more complex.

A cent is therefore represented by three steps; and the Dröbisch angle, which is [[360edo|logarithmically 1/360 of the octave]], is ten steps. EDOs corresponding to other notable divisors include [[72edo]], which has found a dissemination in practice and one step of which is represented by 50 steps, and [[200edo]], which holds the continued fraction expansion record for the best perfect fifth and its step is represented by 18 steps.
