From a regular temperament perspective, 1440edo only has a consistency limit of 3 and does poorly with approximating lower harmonics. However, 1440edo is worth considering as a higher-limit system, where it has excellent representation of the 2.15.17.19.21.23.25.27.31.33 subgroup. It may also be considered as every third step of [[4320edo]] in this regard.

Template:EDO intro

1440edo is inconsistent to the 5-odd-limit and does poorly with approximating lower harmonics. However, 1440edo is worth considering as a higher-limit system, where it has excellent representation of the 2.27.15.21.33.17.19.23.31 subgroup. It may also be considered as every third step of 4320edo in this regard.

Subsets and supersets

Since 1440 factors into 25 × 32 × 5, 1440edo is notable for having a lot of subset edos, the nontrivial ones being 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 18, 20, 24, 30, 32, 36, 40, 45, 48, 60, 72, 80, 90, 96, 120, 144, 160, 180, 240, 288, 360, 480, and 720. It is also a highly factorable equal division.

As an interval size measure, one step of 1440edo is called decifarab.
