2460edo is uniquely [[consistent]] through to the [[27-odd-limit]], which is not very remarkable in itself ([[388edo]] is the first such system), but what is remarkable is the degree of accuracy to which it represents the 27-odd-limit intervals (see below). It is also a [[The Riemann Zeta Function and Tuning #Zeta EDO lists|zeta peak and zeta peak integer edo]], and it has been used in [[Sagittal notation]] to define the ''olympian level'' of JI notation.

As a micro- (or nano-) temperament, it is a landscape system in the 7-limit, tempering out [[250047/250000]], and in the 11-limit it tempers out [[9801/9800]]. Beyond that, [[10648/10647]] in the 13-limit, 12376/12375 in the 17-limit, 5929/5928 and 6860/6859 in the 19-limit and 8281/8280 in the 23-limit.

2460 is divisible by {{EDOs|2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 41, 60, 82, 123, 164, 205, 246, 410, 492, 615, 820, and 1230}}, and its [[abundancy index]] is 1.868. Of the divisors, [[12edo]] is too well-known to need any introduction, [[41edo]] is an important system, and [[205edo]] has proponents such as [[Aaron Andrew Hunt]], who uses it as the default tuning for [http://www.h-pi.com/theory/measurement3.html Hi-pi Instruments] (and as a unit: [[mem]]). Aside from these, [[15edo]] is notable for use by [[Easley Blackwood Jr]], [[60edo]] is a [[Highly composite equal division|highly composite edo]]. In addition, 2460edo maps the [[schisma]] to an exact fraction of the octave, 4 steps. However, such mapping does not hold in [[615edo]].

In light of having a large amount of divisors and precise approximation of just intonation, 2460edo has been proposed as the basis for a unit, the [[mina]], which could be used in place of the cent. Moreover, a cent is exactly 2.05 [[mina]]s, and a mem, 1\205, is exactly 12 minas.
