It is named after the Fields medalist mathematician {{w|Richard Borcherds}}, in reference to his contributions in the theory of the {{w|monstrous moonshine}}.

Notable [[edo]]s that temper it out by [[patent val]] include:

[[6edo]] - the smallest edo that does so~~. Although 6p does indeed temper the borcherdsma with its patent val, there's a lot of doubt whether one would seriously use it to tune the 71-limit~~.

[[6edo]] - the smallest edo that does so.

[[7edo]] - the second smallest edo that does so. 7edo is a [[strict zeta edo]], but that's not a lot of progress from 6edo yet.

Line 22:

[[8539edo]] - the third strict zeta edo that does so.

[[2901533edo]] - the minimal edo ~~with~~ [[distinctly consistent~~|distinct~~ odd~~-consistency~~-limit~~]] 79~~ (and also all the way to 131)

[[2901533edo]] - the minimal edo [[distinctly consistent]] in the 79-odd-limit (and also all the way to 131-odd-limit).

[[70910024edo]] - the minimal edo ~~with distinct~~ odd~~-consistency~~-limit ~~133~~ (~~and also 135~~)

[[70910024edo]] - the minimal edo [[distinctly consistent]] in the 133- and 135-odd-limit.

(The last two edos are taken from the list of [[minimal consistent edos]].)

The largest edo to temper out the borcherdsma is not known, although it is known to be above 6.61 × 10<sup>11</sup> and conjectured to be below 10<sup>12</sup>.
