==Theory==
12276 is a strong 11-limit system, with a lower 11-limit relative error than any lower division aside from [[6691edo|6691]]. 12276 tempers out the [[Kirnberger's atom|atom]], so that the Pythagorean and syntonic commas an be approximated by 12 and 11 schismas respectively.
===Interval size measure===
12276edo factors as 2<sup>2</sup> × 3<sup>2</sup> × 11 × 31, and among its divisors are [[12edo|12]], [[22edo|22]], [[31edo|31]], [[99edo|99]] and [[198edo|198]]. This creates a unit known as the '''[[prima]]''', useful for measurement of 11-limit intervals and commas. The Pythagorean comma is represented by 240 prima, and the syntonic comma by 220. A prima is almost exactly three [[Tuning unit|tuning units]].


In addition, 12276edo tempers out the [[septimal ruthenia]], meaning that [[64/63]] is exactly 1/44th of the octave, or 279 primas.
