420edo is [[enfactoring|enfactored]] in the 7-limit, with the same tuning of [[3/1|3]], [[5/1|5]], and [[7/1|7]] as [[140edo]]. The [[13/1|13th]] [[harmonic]] is also present in 140edo, and ultimately derives from [[10edo]]. The [[29/1|29th harmonic]], while having significantly drifted in terms of [[relative interval error]], has retained its step position from [[7edo]]. In addition, in the 29-limit, only 11 and 17 have step correspondences coprime with 420. This means that all other approximations are preserved from smaller edos, thus enabling edo mergers and mashups.

420edo is better at the 2.5.7.11.13.19.23 [[subgroup]], and works satisfactorily with the 29-limit as a whole, though in[[consistent]]. In the 11-limit, it notably tempers out [[4000/3993]], and in the 13-limit, [[10648/10647]].  
420edo is good at the 2.5.7.11.13.19.23 [[subgroup]], and has a great potential as a near-just xenharmonic system. It also works satisfactorily with the 29-limit as a whole, though in[[consistent]]. In the 11-limit, it notably tempers out [[4000/3993]], and in the 13-limit, [[10648/10647]].

420 is a largely composite number, being divisible by {{EDOs| 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 12, 14, 15, 20, 21, 28, 30, 35, 42, 60, 70, 84, 105, 140, and 210 }}. For this reason 420edo is rich in modulation circles.
