12276 is a strong 11-limit system, with a lower 11-limit relative error than any lower division aside from [[6691edo|6691]]. 12276 tempers out the [[Kirnberger's atom|atom]] and the [[septimal ruthenia]], so that the Pythagorean and syntonic commas an be approximated by 12 and 11 schismas, 240 and 220 steps respectively, and septimal comma is represented by 1/44 of the octave, 279 steps.

12276edo factors as 2<sup>2</sup> × 3<sup>2</sup> × 11 × 31, and among its divisors are [[12edo|12]], [[22edo|22]], [[31edo|31]], [[99edo|99]] and [[198edo|198]]. This creates a unit known as the ''[[prima]]'', useful for measurement of 11-limit intervals and commas. A prima is almost exactly three [[tuning unit]]s.  
12276edo factors into primes as {{nowrap| 2<sup>2</sup> × 3<sup>2</sup> × 11 × 31 }}, and among its divisors are [[12edo|12]], [[22edo|22]], [[31edo|31]], [[99edo|99]] and [[198edo|198]]. This creates a unit known as the ''[[prima]]'', useful for measurement of 11-limit intervals and commas. A prima is almost exactly three [[tuning unit]]s.
