108edo tempers out the Pythagorean comma, 531441/524288, in the 3-limit and 1990656/1953125, the valensixthtone comma, in the 5-limit. In the 7-limit it tempers out 126/125 and 1029/1024, supporting [[Starling_temperaments#Valentine temperament|valentine temperament]], and making for a good tuning for it and for starling temperament, the planar temperament tempering out 126/125. In the 11-limit the patent val tempers out 540/539 and the 108e val tempers out 121/120 and 176/175, supporting 11-limit valentine for which it is again a good tuning.

108edo is the smallest 12''n''-edo which offers a decent alternative fifth to 12edo's fifth, that is [[27edo]]'s superpyth fifth.

Aside from tuning, 108 is the smallest number with a prime factorization of the form <math>p^p \cdot q^q</math>. Being close to 100, it is a good substitute for a relative cent if you desire the measure to have such a property. Also, multiplying it by 12 gives the fourth power of an integer.
Since 108 factors into {{factorization|108}}, 108edo has subset edos {{EDOs| 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, and 54 }}.  


Since 108edo has a step of 11.111 cents, it also allows one to use its MOS scales as circulating temperaments.
