7th octave temperament occurs through temperament merging any two edos whose greatest common divisor is 7. A comma that frequently appears in 7th-octave temps is [[akjaysma]], which sets 105/64 to be equal to 5\7.

A 7th-octave temperament can be described by temperament merging of edos whose greatest common divisor is 7. The most notable 7th-octave family is the [[whitewood family]] – tempering out [[2187/2048]] and associating 4\7 to [[3/2]].
 
A comma that frequently appears in 7th-octave temps is [[akjaysma]], which sets [[105/64]] to be equal to 5\7.

Nitrogen may be described as the {{nowrap| 140 & 1407 }} temperament in the 7-limit. It was named after the 7th element for having a 7th-octave period and also because 140 and 1407 only contain numbers 7 and 14, atomic number and atomic weight of nitrogen respectively. On top of this connection to the number 7, it also reaches the 7th harmonic 7 generators down.

Described as 140 & 1407 temperament in the 7-limit, named after the 7th element for being period-7 and also because 140 and 1407 only contain numbers 7 and 14, atomic number and atomic weight of nitrogen respectively. On top of this connection to the number 7, it also reaches 7th harmonic 7 generators down.
