As a micro (or nano) temperament, it is a landscape system in the 7-limit, tempering out 250047/250000, and in the 11-limit it tempers out 9801/9800. Beyond that, 10648/10647 in the 13-limit, 12376/12375 in the 17-limit, 5929/5928 and 6860/6859 in the 19-limit and 8281/8280 in the 23-limit.

Since its prime factorization is 2<sup>2</sup> × 3 × 5 × 41, 2460 is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 41, 60, 82, 123, 164, 205, 246, 410, 492, 615, 820, and 1230.
