The '''301 equal divisions of the octave''' ('''301edo'''), or the '''301(-tone) equal temperament''' ('''301tet''', '''301et''') when viewed from a [[regular temperament]] perspective, is the [[EDO|equal division of the octave]] into 301 parts of about 3.99 [[cent]]s each.

301edo is a strong 7-limit system, and distinctly consistent through the [[17-odd-limit]]. It tempers out [[32805/32768]] in the 5-limit, [[2401/2400]] in the 7-limit, [[3025/3024]], 5632/5625, [[8019/8000]] in the 11-limit, [[729/728]], [[847/845]], [[1001/1000]], [[1716/1715]], [[2200/2197]] in the 13-limit, and 561/560, [[833/832]], [[1089/1088]], [[1156/1155]], 1275/1274 and [[1701/1700]] in the 17-limit. Because it tempers out both 32805/32768 and 2401/2400, it [[support]]s the [[sesquiquartififths]] temperament.

301 is a composite number, since 301 = 7 × 43. This is related to the proposal of the deaf French mathematician and acoustician [[Wikipedia: Joseph Sauveur|Joseph Sauveur]] to divide the octave in 43 parts called ''merides'', and those into seven more parts called ''heptamerides''. Back in the days of slide rules and log tables, this made sense since by multiplying the log base ten of the interval in question by 1000, one came close to how many heptamerides it constituted.

301edo also tempers out {{monzo| 168 -43 -43 }} and 5250987/5242880, so it supports the [[Mitonismic temperaments #Meridic|meridic temperament]].
