4172 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 4172edo or 4172ed2), also called 4172-tone equal temperament (4172tet) or 4172 equal temperament (4172et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 4172 equal parts of about 0.288 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 2^1/4172, or the 4172nd root of 2.

Theory

The first 8 prime harmonics below 25% in 4172edo are 2, 5, 13, 17, 31, 37, 53, 61. Therefore, 4172edo can be thought of as a 2.5.13.17.31.37.53.61 subgroup temperament.
