12edo contains [[2edo]], [[3edo]], [[4edo]], and [[6edo]] as subsets. It is the 5th [[highly composite edo]], 12 being both a superabundant and a highly composite number. 12edo is also the only known edo aside from 2edo that is both [[the Riemann zeta function and tuning|strict zeta]] and highly composite.

[[24edo]], which doubles it, improves significantly on approximations to 11 and 13, with 13 tuned sharp. [[36edo]], which triples it, improves on harmonics 7 and 13, but has the 13 tuned flat instead of sharp. [[72edo]] is a notable zeta-record edo, and [[60edo|60-]], [[84edo|84-]], and [[96edo]] all see utilities. Various [[12th-octave temperaments]] that augment 12edo exist, most prominent examples being [[compton]] and [[catler]].
