The '''1200 equal divisions of the octave''' ('''1200edo'''), or the '''1200(-tone) equal temperament''' ('''1200tet''', '''1200et''') when viewed from a [[regular temperament]] perspective, divides the [[octave]] into 1200 [[equal]] parts of exactly 1 [[cent]] each, and a size close to [[1729/1728]]. It is notable mostly because it is the equal division corresponding to cents.
{{ED intro}}
 
1200edo is notable for being the equal division of the octave whose step size corresponds to exactly 1 [[cent]].

1200edo is distinctly [[consistent]] through the [[11-odd-limit]]. This means that whole-cent approximations of the 11-odd-limit [[tonality diamond]] intervals are conveniently represented through the 11-limit [[patent val]] {{val| 1200 1902 2786 3369 4151 }}. It is [[enfactored]] in the [[5-limit]], having the same mapping as [[600edo]]. Upwards to the 47-limit, 1200edo offers relatively accurate approximations for 2, 3, 7, 17, 31, 41, and 47. The 47th harmonic is 6666 steps and 666 steps reduced – a funny mathematical coincidence in our decimal system.

1200et tempers out 2460375/2458624 and 95703125/95551488 in the [[7-limit]], supporting the 171 & 1029 temperament, with a period of 1/3 octave and a generator which is an approximate 225/224 of 7\1200. It tempers out [[9801/9800]], 234375/234256 and 825000/823543 in the 11-limit, supporting the 494 & 706 temperament, with a half-octave period and an approximate 99/98 generator of 17\1200.

It also provides a 7-limit val, 1200ccd, which is extremely closely close to the 7-limit [[POTE tuning]] of [[quadritikleismic temperament]]: {{val| 1200 1902 2785 3368 }}. It also provides the optimal patent val for the 224&752 temperament tempering out 2200/2197, 4096/4095, 9801/9800 and 35750/35721.

Upwards to the 47-limit, 1200edo offers relatively accurate approximations for 2, 3, 7, 17, 31, 41, and 47, and in the 2.3.7.17.31.41.47 [[subgroup]] it tempers out 2304/2303, 3808/3807, 6273/6272, 506447/506268, 632056/632043, 10218313/10214416. The 47th harmonic is 6666 steps and 666 steps reduced – a mathematical coincidence in our decimal system.

The divisors of 1200 are {{EDOs| 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 25, 30, 40, 48, 50, 60, 75, 80, 100, 120, 150, 200, 240, 300, 400, and 600 }}. These are all the edos whose step size is an integer amount of cents, and thus can be played exactly on any digital audio workstation that offers detuning by cents.
