'''28 equal divisions of the octave''' ('''28edo''') is the [[tuning system]] derived by dividing the [[octave]] into 28 equal steps of approximately 42.857{{cent}} each.

== Theory ==

28edo, a multiple of both [[7edo]] and [[14edo]] (and of course [[2edo]] and [[4edo]])~~, has a step size of 42.857 [[cent]]s~~. It shares three intervals with [[12edo]]: the 300 cent minor third, the 600 cent tritone, and the 900 cent major sixth. Thus it [[tempering_out|tempers out]] the [[greater diesis]] [[648/625|648:625]]. It does not however temper out the [[128/125|128:125]] [[lesser_diesis|lesser diesis]], as 28 is not divisible by 3. It has the same perfect fourth and fifth as 7edo. It also has decent approximations of several septimal intervals, of which [[9/7]] and its inversion [[14/9]] are also found in 14edo. Its approximation to [[5/4]] is unusually good for an edo of this size, being the next convergent to log25 after [[3edo]].

28edo can approximate the [[7-limit|7-limit]] subgroup 2.27.5.21 quite well, and on this subgroup it has the same commas and tunings as 84edo. The temperament corresponding to [[Semicomma_family|orwell temperament]] now has a major third as generator, though as before 225/224, 1728/1715 and 6144/6125 are tempered out. The 225/224-tempered version of the [[Marvel_chords|augmented triad]] has a very low complexity, so many of them appear in the [[MOS scales]] for this temperament, which have sizes 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25.
