//Thirty-one tone equal temperament//, also called //31-tET//, //31-EDO//, //31-et//, or //tricesimoprimal meantone temperament//, is the scale derived by dividing the octave into 31 [[equal|equally]] large steps. The term 'Tricesimoprimal' was first used by [[Adriaan Fokker]]. Each step is equivalent to a frequency ratio of the 31st root of 2, or 38.71 [[cents]]. 31's perfect fifth is flat of the just interval 3:2 (over five cents), as befits a tuning supporting meantone, but the major third is less than a cent sharp (of just 5:4). 31's approximation of 7:4, a cent flat, is also very close to just. Because of these near-just values 31-et is relatively quite accurate and is in fact the sixth [[The Riemann Zeta Function and Tuning#Zeta%20EDO%20lists|zeta integral edo]]. Many 7-limit JI scales are well-approximated in 31 (with tempering, of course).
