As an equal temperament, 224et [[tempering out]] [[32805/32768]] in the [[5-limit]]; [[4375/4374]], [[16875/16807]] and [[65625/65536]] in the [[7-limit]]; [[540/539]], 1375/1372, [[4000/3993]] and notably, the [[quartisma]] in the [[11-limit]]; and [[625/624]], [[729/728]], [[1575/1573]] and [[2200/2197]] in the [[13-limit]], leading to an abundance of precisely-tuned [[essentially tempered chord]]s, including [[swetismic chords]], [[squbemic chords]], and [[petrmic chords]] in the 13-odd-limit, in addition to [[nicolic chords]] in the [[15-odd-limit]]. It defines the [[optimal patent val]] for the [[octoid]] in the 7-, 11- and 13-limit, and for [[mirkwai]], the 7-limit [[planar temperament]] tempering out 16875/16807. It also provides an excellent tuning for [[indra]] and [[shibi]] temperaments. [[217edo]], only a bit smaller, has a worse 13-limit, but it achieves a much higher [[consistency limit]], almost [[31-odd-limit|31-odd]].

224edo tempers the [[syntonic comma]] to 1/56th of the octave (4 steps) and as a corollary supports the [[barium]] temperament. As a consequence of this, the 224bb val (flattening the fifth by one step) is a tuning for [[meantone]] and is very close (0.15 cents) to the [[quarter-comma meantone]] fifth. The generator however reduces to [[112edo]], being 65\112.

The generator however reduces to [[112edo]], being 65\112; that said, the use of both types of fifth enables creation of a closed circle of 24 notes per octave, generated as 16 patent fifths plus 8 bb fifths (as in [[quadrant]] temperament)<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/@Xen-p6p @Xen-p6p] (2026), YouTube post on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hmjx4wvLG7Q Uccellini - «Aria Sopra La Bergamasca» (1642), arranged for Organ, tuned into Adaptive Just Intonation] rendered by [[Claudi Meneghin]] (2024).</ref>, although a different distribution than the quarter-octave distribution specified by quadrant might be desired for a well-tempered 24 note tuning system.

Since 224 factors into {{nowrap| 2<sup>5</sup> × 7 }}, 224edo has subset edos {{EDOs| 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 7, 14, 28, 56, and 112 }}.

224edo can be written in Sagittal using ''almost'' the entire Athenian extension, by virtue of its apotome being equal to 21 edosteps, which is the maximum equal division of the apotome (eda) supported by Athenian<ref name=":0">[[Ragismic microtemperaments#Brahmagupta]]</ref>.
