The '''247 equal divisions of the octave''' ('''247EDO'''), or the '''247(-tone) equal temperament''' ('''247TET''', '''247ET''') when viewed from a [[regular temperament]] perspective, is the [[EDO|equal division of the octave]] into 247 parts of 4.8583 [[cent]]s each.

[[Prime harmonic]]s [[3/1|3]], [[5/1|5]], [[7/1|7]], and [[11/1|11]] are all about halfway between 247edo's steps, so 247edo lacks [[consistency]] to the [[5-odd-limit|5]] and higher odd limits. It is the largest numbered edo that the closest approximation to 3/2 is flatter than that of [[12edo]] (700¢, [[Compton family|compton fifth]]). 247edo tunes the 2.9.13.15.21 [[subgroup]] very well, as every other step of the monstrous [[494edo]].
In 247EDO, 144 degree represents [[3/2]] (2.36¢ flat), 80 degree represents [[5/4]] (2.35¢ sharp), 199 degree represents [[7/4]] (2.02¢ flat), and 113 degree represents [[11/8]] (2.33¢ flat). 247EDO lacks consistency to the 5 and higher odd-limit. It is the largest number EDO that interval representing 3/2 is flatter than that of [[12EDO]] (700¢, [[Compton family|compton]] fifth). It tempers out [[126/125]], [[243/242]] and [[1029/1024]] in the 11-limit patent mapping, so it [[support]]s the ''hemivalentino'' temperament (31&61e).

247 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 247edo or 247ed2), also called 247-tone equal temperament (247tet) or 247 equal temperament (247et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 247 equal parts of about 4.86 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/247, or the 247th root of 2.

Prime harmonics 3, 5, 7, and 11 are all about halfway between 247edo's steps, so 247edo lacks consistency to the 5 and higher odd limits. It is the largest numbered edo that the closest approximation to 3/2 is flatter than that of 12edo (700¢, compton fifth). 247edo tunes the 2.9.13.15.21 subgroup very well, as every other step of the monstrous 494edo.

The 247cg val has lower errors: this edo has a flat tendency, so its tuning accuracy may be improved by an octave stretch of approximately +0.8 ¢. 247cg is a good tuning for miracle, tempering out 225/224 and 1029/1024 in the 7-limit, 243/242, 385/384, 441/440, and 540/539 in the 11-limit, 847/845 in the 13-limit, and 375/374 and 561/560 in the 17-limit. Alternatively, using the patent val, 247edo tempers out 126/125, 243/242 and 1029/1024 in the 11-limit, supporting the 31 & 61e temperament known as hemivalentino.

Subsets and supersets

Since 247 factors into 13 × 19, 247edo contains 13edo and 19edo as its subsets. 494edo, which doubles it, provides excellent correction to all the lower prime harmonics.
