The 83 equal temperament divides the octave into 83 equal parts of 14.458 cents each. The 3 is six and a half cents sharp and the 5 four cents sharp, with 7, 11, and 13 more accurate but a little flat. It tempers out 15625/15552 in the 5-limit and 686/675, 4000/3969 and 6144/6125 in the 7-limit, and provides the optimal patent val for the 7-limit 27&56 temperament with wedgie <<5 18 17 17 13 -11||. In the 11-limit it tempers out 121/120, 176/175 and 385/384, and in the 13-limit 91/90, 169/168 and 196/195, and it provides the optimal patent val for the 11-limit 22&61 temperament and the 13-limit 15&83 temperament. 83 is the 23rd prime number.

The [[3/1|harmonic 3]] is 6.5{{c}} sharp and the [[5/1|5]] is 4{{c}} sharp, with [[7/1|7]], [[11/1|11]], and [[13/1|13]] more accurate but a little flat.

In the 11-limit it tempers out [[121/120]], [[176/175]] and [[385/384]], and in the 13-limit [[91/90]], [[169/168]] and [[196/195]], and it provides the optimal patent val for the 11-limit {{nowrap|22 & 61}} temperament and the 13-limit 15 & 83 temperament.

Every odd harmonic between the 7th and the 17th is tuned flatly. As a consequence, this tuning provides a good approximation of the 7:9:11:13:15:17 [[hexad]], and especially of the 9:11:13 [[triad]].
