317 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 317edo or 317ed2), also called 317-tone equal temperament (317tet) or 317 equal temperament (317et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 317 equal parts of about 3.79 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 2^1/317, or the 317th root of 2.

Theory

317edo is only consistent to the 5-odd-limit and harmonic 3 is about halfway its steps. To start with, it can be considered in the 2.9.5.7 subgroup, in which it is strong, tempering out 420175/419904, 703125/702464, and 33554432/33480783.

Using the patent val nonetheless, the equal temperament tempers out 78732/78125 (sensipent comma in the 5-limit; 16875/16807, 65625/65536, 589824/588245, and 49009212/48828125 in the 7-limit. In the 11-limit, the 317e val tempers out 540/539, 1375/1372, and 3025/3024, whereas the patent val tempers out 441/440, 4000/3993, and 14700/14641.
