300edo's step size is called a '''savart''' when used as an [[interval size unit]].
 
== Theory ==
300edo is the largest-number edo which [[tempering out|tempers out]] the [[Pythagorean comma]], 531441/524288, in the [[patent val]].
 
It is in[[consistent]] to the [[5-odd-limit]] and higher, with three mappings possible for the 5-limit: {{val| 300 475 697 }} (patent val), {{val| 300 '''476''' 697 }} (300b), and {{val| 300 475 '''696''' }} (300c).
 
Using the patent val, it tempers out 531441/524288 and {{monzo| 47 7 -25 }} in the 5-limit; [[6144/6125]], [[50421/50000]], and 1594323/1568000 in the 7-limit.
 
Using the 300b val, it tempers out [[393216/390625]] and {{monzo| 51 -38 4 }} in the 5-limit; 153664/151875, 179200/177147, and [[823543/819200]] in the 7-limit. Using the 300bd val, it tempers out [[10976/10935]], 65536/64827, and [[390625/388962]] in the 7-limit.
 
Using the 300c val, it tempers out 531441/524288 and {{monzo| -58 0 25 }} in the 5-limit; [[225/224]], [[250047/250000]], and 69206436005/68719476736 in the 7-limit.

Since 300 factors into 2<sup>2</sup> × 3 × 5<sup>2</sup>, 300edo has subset edos {{EDOs| 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, 30, 50, 60, 75, 100, and 150 }}. [[600edo]], which doubles it, gives a good correction to its approximation of the 5-limit.
