3600edo is consistent in the 5-odd-limit and it is a good 2.3.5.11.17.23.31.37.41 subgroup tuning.  
The revision contents are below, presented both in the original Wikispaces Wikitext format, and in HTML exactly as Wikispaces rendered it.<br>
 
<h4>Original Wikitext content:</h4>
In the 5-limit, 3600edo [[support]]s 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.

A cent is therefore three steps; also, the Dröbisch Angle which is 1/360 octave is ten steps. Aside from its relationship to cents, it is of interest as a system supporting [[Ragismic microtemperaments#Ennealimmal|ennealimmal temperament]], tempering out the ennealimma, |1 -27 18&gt;, in the [[5-limit]] and (with the patent val) 2401/2400 and 4375/4374 in the [[7-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.</pre></div>

3600edo factors as {{Factorization|3600}}, and has subset edos {{EDOs|1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 18, 20, 24, 25, 30, 36, 40, 45, 48, 50, 60, 72, 75, 80, 90, 100, 120, 144, 150, 180, 200, 225, 240, 300, 360, 400, 450, 600, 720, 900, 1200, 1800}}.  
 
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.
