A non-integer EDO can be defined as using a non-integer divisor to divide the octave. Typically, non-integer EDOs are understood as ''not'' containing the exact octave, so that they remain [[equal tuning]]s. If the exact octave is retained then this results in a [[MOS scale]] with only 1 small step.

Typically, non-integer EDOs are understood as ''not'' containing the exact octave, so that they remain [[equal tuning]]s. If the exact octave is retained and if the generator resets itself at each period, then this results in a [[MOS scale]] with only 1 small step.  


All fractional EDOs are integer equal divisions of another integer interval. For example, (25/2)edo is equivalent to 25ed4. In general:
