'''5afdo''' ([[AFDO|arithmetic frequency division of the octave]]), or '''5odo''' ([[otonal division]] of the octave), divides the octave into five parts of 1/5 each. As a scale it may be known as [[Harmonic mode|mode 5 of the harmonic series]] or the [[Overtone scale #Over-n scales|Over-5]] scale. As 5 is a small odd number, this AFDO does not contain a perfect fifth or any reasonable approximation to it, an it is relatively poor for its size at creating traditional tonal music compared to [[4afdo]] and [[6afdo]].
{{Harmonics intro|5}} As 5 is a small odd number, this scale does not contain a perfect fifth or any reasonable approximation to it over the root, and it is relatively poor for its size at creating traditional tonal music compared to [[Harmonics 4–8|harmonics 4–8]] and [[Harmonics 6–12|harmonics 6–12]] (again only if over the root, the modes have more to offer).
