The '''231 equal divisions of the octave''' ('''231edo'''), or the '''231(-tone) equal temperament''' ('''231tet''', '''231et''') when viewed from a [[regular temperament]] perspective, divides the [[octave]] into 231 [[equal]] parts of about 5.19 [[cent]]s each.

In the 5-limit, 231et tempers out the [[kleisma]], 15625/15552, and in the 7-limit [[1029/1024]], so that it [[support]]s the [[tritikleismic]] temperament, and in fact provides the [[optimal patent val]]. In the 11-limit it tempers out [[385/384]], [[441/440]] and [[4000/3993]], leading to 11-limit tritikleismic for which it also gives the optimal patent val.

231 years is the number of years in a 41 out of 231 leap week cycle, which corresponds to a 41 & 149 temperament tempering out 132055/131072, 166375/165888, and 2460375/2458624. This type of solar calendar leap rule scale may actually be of more use to harmony, since a 41 note subset mimics [[41edo]], a rather useful edo harmonically, and it preserves the simple commas mentioned above.

Since the patent val mapping of fifth in 231edo is divisible by 9, it can be used for playing the [[Carlos Alpha]] scale.

Since 231 factors into primes as {{nowrap| 3 × 7 × 11 }}, 231edo has subset edos {{EDOs| 3, 7, 11, 21, 33, and 77 }}. Since it contains [[77edo]], it can be used for playing such a tuning of the [[Carlos Alpha]] scale. [[1848edo]], which divides its step into eight, provides a near-just representation of the 11-limit.
