It is close to 11 steps of [[20edo]] (660{{c}}). The comma which is the difference between a stack of 20 375/256s and 11 octaves, produces a 5-limit restriction of the [[soviet ferris wheel]] temperament, which divides the octave into 20 parts. Notable equal divisions supporting it and hence repesenting 375/256 consistently as 660{{c}} are {{EDOs|140, 320, 460, and 600}}. | |||
