666edo is enfactored in the 17-limit, with the same mapping as [[333edo]]. Using precision as a criterion, 2.11.19.41.43 subgroup is great for 666edo. If significant errors are allowed, 666edo can be used with 2.7.11.17.19.23. 666edo provides good direct approximations for: [[15/11]], [[16/11]], [[16/15]], [[13/12]], [[13/10]], [[22/15]], [[23/14]]. 666edo also has a strong approximation for [[11/8]] derived from [[37edo]] and for [[7/6]] derived from 9edo, but on the 2.7/6.11 subgroup it is enfactored, with the same tuning again as 333edo, tempering out the [[37-11-comma]] and the [[septimal ennealimma]]. The 666c val, tempers out [[2401/2400]], [[4375/4374]], and [[9801/9800]] in the 11 limit.
666edo is [[enfactoring|enfactored]] in the 17-limit, with the same mapping as [[333edo]] which it doubles where it tempers out exactly the same commas and inherits its strong approximations for [[11/8]] and [[7/6]]. Hence on the patent vals up to 17-limit it doesn't provide much new apart from characteristics of what it doubles.


666edo is also used by [[Eliora]] to approximate the "[[Factor 9 grid]]", or the just intonation esoteric scale deconstructed and debunked by Adam Neely. Now, it may be worth noting that the tuning system which truly has an excellent approximation of the Factor 9 grid is 666ed15/14. However, this fact wasn't spotted by Eliora until after first music was composed in 666edo due to the temperament finder layout making it not immediately obvious what is the interval of equivalence, so the Factor 9 grid representation by 666edo still remains notable given that it's a scale for some of the first music composed in this edo.
Nonetheless, the 2.9.15.21.11.17.19 [[subgroup]] is great for 666edo. Alternatively, it can be used with 2.9.15.7.11.19.23. Additionally, the 2.9.15.11.39.23/7 subgroup is useful as a fractional subgroup, representing direct approximations for [[15/11]], [[16/11]], [[16/15]], [[13/12]], [[13/10]], [[22/15]], [[23/14]].
 
For non-patent vals, 666ceefg val {{val| 666 1056 '''1547''' 1870 '''2305''' '''2465''' '''2723'''}} is recommended as it is the best tuned in the 17-limit (better than the patent val). A comma basis for the 17-limit is {936/935, 3584/3575, 2431/2430, 4375/4374, 2401/2400, 34496/34425}. This val supports the [[ennealimmal]] temperament in the 7-limit and a lesser known extension of it into the 13-limit as 270 & 666ceef.
 
666edo is also used by [[Eliora]] to approximate the "[[Factor 9 grid]]", or the just intonation esoteric scale deconstructed and debunked by Adam Neely. Now, it may be worth noting that the tuning system which truly has an excellent approximation of the Factor 9 grid is 666ed15/14, approximately equivalent to [[6691edo]]. However, this fact was not spotted by Eliora until after first music was composed in 666edo due to the temperament finder layout making it not immediately obvious what is the interval of equivalence, so the Factor 9 grid representation by 666edo still remains notable given that it is a scale for some of the first music composed in this edo.

Since 666 factors into {{factorization|666}}, 666edo has subset edos {{EDOs| 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 37, 74, 111, 222, 333 }}, of which 111edo is a notable system due to its accuracy relative to its size.

666 has subset edos {{EDOs|1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 37, 74, 111, 222, 333}}, of which 111edo is a notable system due to its large amount of regular temperaments.
Note: temperaments supported by [[333edo]] are not included.
