251 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 251edo or 251ed2), also called 251-tone equal temperament (251tet) or 251 equal temperament (251et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 251 equal parts of about 4.78 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/251, or the 251st root of 2.

Theory

251et tempers out 1600000/1594323 (amity comma) and [49 -6 -17⟩ (maquila comma) in the 5-limit; 4375/4374, 5120/5103, and 40500000/40353607 in the 7-limit, supporting amity, supermajor, and acrokleismic.

Using the patent val ⟨251 398 583 705 868], it tempers out 1331/1323, 1375/1372, 16896/16807, and 24057/24010 in the 11-limit; 352/351, 676/675, 847/845, and 1573/1568 in the 13-limit.

Using the 251e val ⟨251 398 583 705 869], it tempers out 540/539, 5632/5625, 6250/6237, and 12005/11979 in the 11-limit; 364/363, 676/675, 1716/1715, and 3584/3575 in the 13-limit.
