'''16edo''' is the [[equal division of the octave]] into sixteen narrow chromatic semitones each of 75 [[cent]]s exactly.

16edo is not especially good at representing most low-odd-limit musical intervals, but it has a [[7/4]] which is only six cents sharp, and a [[5/4]] which is only eleven cents flat. Four steps of it gives the 300 cent minor third interval, the same of that 12edo, giving it four diminished seventh chords exactly like those of [[12edo]], and a diminished triad on each scale step.
