Thus, the way to get the ''p''-limit patent val for ''N''-EDO is to multiply {{val| 1 1.585 2.322 2.807 … log<sub>2</sub>''p'' }} by ''N''. Then, since you can't take fractional steps in an EDO, you round the results to the nearest integers.

As stated above, the val contains the number of steps it takes to get to a given prime number, in prime number order:

{{val| [2/1] [3/1] [5/1] [7/1] [etc.] }}
{{val| [2/1] [3/1] [5/1] [7/1] [etc.] }}


By definition, for any EDO, the number of steps to 2/1 is the EDO division: 31 for 31 EDO. The 2-limit patent val is {{val| 31 }}.
