126 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 126edo or 126ed2), also called 126-tone equal temperament (126tet) or 126 equal temperament (126et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 126 equal parts of about 9.52 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/126, or the 126th root of 2.
126edo has a distinctly sharp tendency, with the 3, 5, 7 and 11 all sharp. The equal temperament tempers out 2048/2025 in the 5-limit, 2401/2400 and 4375/4374 in the 7-limit, and 176/175, 896/891, and 1331/1323 in the 11-limit. It provides the optimal patent val for 7- and 11-limit srutal temperament. It also creates an excellent Porcupine[8] scale, mapping the generators to 17 steps, and the smaller interval to 7, which is the precise amount of tempering needed to make the thirds and fourths equally consonant within a few fractions of a cent.

Subsets and supersets
Since 126 factors into 2 × 32 × 7, 126edo has subset edos 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 14, 18, 21, 42, and 63.
