Since 42 factors into {{factorization|42}}, 42edo contains subset edos {{EDOs| 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, and 21 }}.

=== Octave stretch ===
42edo’s poor 3rd and 5th harmonics can be greatly improved through [[octave stretching]] or [[octave shrinking]]. Both approaches work about equally well but in opposite directions, giving two quite different flavors of tuning to play with.
Stretched versions of 42edo include:
* [[zpi|189zpi]] (~41.83edo)
* [[Ed257/128#42ed257/128|42ed257/128]]
Compressed versions of 42edo include
* [[zpi|191zpi]] (~42.19edo)
* [[Ed255/128#42ed255/128|42ed255/128]]
