Then ask, "How many more N-EDO steps does it take to get to the same places?" One 12-EDO step is 1/12th of an octave, by definition; therefore, you need 12 times as many steps to reach 2/1, 3/1, 5/1... Similarly, one 31-EDO step is 1/31st of an octave, so you need 31 times as many steps to reach 2/1, 3/1, 5/1... | Then ask, "How many more N-EDO steps does it take to get to the same places?"

Thus, the way to get the patent val for N-EDO is to multiply <1 1.585 2.322 2.807 ... log2(p) | by N. Then, since you can't take fractional steps in an EDO, you round the results to the nearest integers. | Thus, the way to get the p-limit patent val for N-EDO is to multiply <1 1.585 2.322 2.807 ... log2(p) | by N.
