The '''3125 equal division of the octave''' ('''3125edo''') divides the [[octave]] into 5<sup>5</sup> = 3125 equal parts of exactly 0.384 [[cent]]s each. It is notable for being an extremely strong 7-limit system, being the first equal division past [[171edo]] with a lower [[Tenney-Euclidean temperament measures #TE simple badness|relative error]]. It is also distinctly consistent through the [[15-odd-limit]]. A basis for its 7-limit commas is 78125000/78121827, 645700815/645657712 and 281484423828125/281474976710656. In the 11-limit, 151263/151250, 820125/819896, 21437500/21434787 and [[Quartisma|117440512/117406179]] are tempered out – it should be noted this edo is so far the only one [https://en.xen.wiki/index.php?title=3125edo&oldid=7860 known to have been confirmed] as tempering out 117440512/117406179 prior to the independent discovery of this comma's significance as the difference between a stack of five [[33/32]] quartertones and one [[7/6]] subminor third. In the 13-limit, 6656/6655, 123201/123200, 140625/140608, 151263/151250 and 1399680/1399489 are all tempered out.
The '''3125 equal divisions of the octave''' ('''3125edo'''), or the '''3125-tone equal temperament''' ('''3125tet'''), '''3125 equal temperament''' ('''3125et''') when viewed from a [[regular temperament]] perspective, divides the [[octave]] into 3125 [[equal]] parts of about {{sigfig| 1200/3125 }} [[cent]]s each. .

The fact that 3125 = 5<sup>5</sup> makes curious notations possible based on the symmetric base 5 positional number system, by converting the number to base 5 with digits {-2, -1, 0, 1, 2}. 3125 has subset edos 5, 25, 125, and 625.
