The '''87 equal temperament''', often abbreviated '''87-tET''', '''87-EDO''', or '''87-ET''', is the scale derived by dividing the octave into 87 equally-sized steps, where each step represents a frequency ratio of 13.79 [[cent|cents]]. It is solid as both a [[13-limit]] (or [[15-odd-limit]]) and as a [[5-limit]] system, and of course does well enough in any limit in between. It represents the [[13-limit]] [[tonality diamond]] both uniquely and [[consistent|consistently]] (see [[87edo/13-limit detempering]]), and is the smallest equal temperament to do so.

87et also shows some potential in limits beyond 13. The next four prime ~~harmonies~~ 17, 19, 23 and 29 are all near-critically sharp, but the feature of it is that the overtones and undertones are distinct, and most intervals are usable as long as they don't combine with 7, which is flat. Actually, as a no-sevens system, it is consistent in the 33-odd-limit.
