496edo is strongly related to the [[248edo]], but the patent vals differ on the mapping for 13. contorted order 2 up to the 11-limit, meaning it shares the mapping with 248edo. As such, in the 11-limit it is a compound of two chains of 11-limit bischismic temperaments. In the 13-limit patent val, first step where 496edo is not contorted, it tempers out 4225/4224.
496edo is good with the 2.3.11.19 subgroup, for low-complexity just intonation. Higher limits that it appreciates are 31, 37, and 47.


In the 2.3.11.19 subgroup, 496edo tempers out 131072/131043.

496 is the 3rd perfect number, and its divisors are {{EDOs|1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 31, 62, 124, 248}}, the most notable being 31.
