'''5 equal divisions of the octave''' (or '''5edo''') is the [[tuning system]] derived by dividing the [[octave]] into 5 equal steps of 240 [[cent]]s each, or the fifth root of two. 5edo is the third [[prime edo]], after [[2edo]] and [[3edo]]. Most importantly, 5edo is the smallest [[edo]] containing xenharmonic intervals — 1edo, 2edo, 3edo, and 4edo are all subsets of [[12edo]].
