25EDO has fifths 18 cents sharp, but its major thirds are excellent and its 7/4 is acceptable. It therefore makes sense to use it as a 2.5.7 [[Just intonation subgroups|subgroup]] tuning. Looking just at 2, 5, and 7, it equates five 8/7s with the octave, and so tempers out (8/7)^5 / 2 = 16807/16384. It also equates a 128/125 diesis and two septimal tritones of 7/5 with the octave, and hence tempers out 3136/3125. If we want to temper out both of these and also have decent fifths, the obvious solution is [[50EDO]]. | 25EDO has fifths 18 cents sharp, but its major thirds are excellent and its 7/4 is acceptable.

If 5/4 and 7/4 aren't good enough, it also does 17/16 and 19/16, just like 12EDO. In fact, on the subgroup 2.9.5.7.33.39.17.19 it provides the same tuning and tempers out the same commas as 50et, which makes for wide range of harmony. | If 5/4 and 7/4 aren't good enough, it also does 17/16 and 19/16, just like 12EDO.
