The '''342 equal divisions of the octave''' ('''342edo'''), or the '''342(-tone) equal temperament''' ('''342tet''', '''342et''') when viewed from a [[regular temperament]] perspective, is the [[EDO|equal division of the octave]] into 342 parts of about 3.51 [[cent]]s each.

342edo is a very strong 11-limit system. It is, as one would expect, distinctly consistent through the 11-odd-limit, but goes no higher; nonetheless, it is a [[The Riemann Zeta Function and Tuning #Zeta EDO lists|zeta peak edo]]. A basis for the 11-limit commas is 2401/2400, 3025/3024, 4375/4374 and 32805/32768. It is the optimal patent val for 11-limit [[Breedsmic temperaments #Hemitert|hemitert]] temperament, and [[support]]s hemiennealimmal.
342edo is a very strong 11-limit system. It is, as one would expect, [[consistency|distinctly consistent]] through the [[11-odd-limit]], but goes no higher; nonetheless, it is a [[zeta peak edo]]. A [[comma basis|basis]] for the 11-limit [[comma]]s consists of [[2401/2400]], [[3025/3024]], [[4375/4374]] and [[32805/32768]]. It is the [[optimal patent val]] for 11-limit [[Breedsmic temperaments #Hemitert|hemitert]] temperament, and [[support]]s hemiennealimmal.


342 factors as 2 × 3<sup>2</sup> × 19, with subset edos {{EDOs| 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 19, 38, 57, 114, and 171 }}.  
If 3.5 cents is taken as the [[just-noticeable difference]], then 342edo may be regarded as the highest EDO whose step size remains individually discernible. However, the [[JND]] is not fixed and depends on the listener and musical context.

342 factors as {{factorization|342}}, with subset edos {{EDOs| 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 19, 38, 57, 114, and 171 }}.
 
[[684edo]], which doubles 342edo, provides an approximation of harmonic 13 that works well with the flat tendency of its 11-limit mapping.

* 342et is lower in relative error than any previous ETs in the 11-limit. Not until 612 do we find a better ET in terms of absolute error, and not until 1848 do we find one in terms of relative error.
* 342et is lower in relative error than any previous equal temperaments in the 11-limit, being the first to beat [[270edo|270]]. Not until [[612edo|612]] do we find a better equal temperament in terms of absolute error, and not until [[1848edo|1848]] do we find one in terms of relative error.
