The '''247 equal divisions of the octave''' ('''247EDO'''), or the '''247(-tone) equal temperament''' ('''247TET''', '''247ET''') when viewed from a [[regular temperament]] perspective, is the [[EDO|equal division of the octave]] into 247 parts of 4.8583 [[cent]]s each.

== Theory ==
[[Prime harmonic]]s [[3/1|3]], [[5/1|5]], [[7/1|7]], and [[11/1|11]] are all about halfway between 247edo's steps, so 247edo lacks [[consistency]] to the [[5-odd-limit|5]] and higher odd limits. It is the largest numbered edo that the closest approximation to 3/2 is flatter than that of [[12edo]] (700¢, [[Compton family|compton fifth]]). Using the [[patent val]], it tempers out [[126/125]], [[243/242]] and [[1029/1024]] in the 11-limit , so it [[support]]s the ''hemivalentino'' temperament (31 & 61e).  
In 247EDO, 144 degree represents [[3/2]] (2.36¢ flat), 80 degree represents [[5/4]] (2.35¢ sharp), 199 degree represents [[7/4]] (2.02¢ flat), and 113 degree represents [[11/8]] (2.33¢ flat). 247EDO lacks consistency to the 5 and higher odd-limit. It is the largest number EDO that interval representing 3/2 is flatter than that of [[12EDO]] (700¢, [[Compton family|compton]] fifth).

Template:EDO intro

Prime harmonics 3, 5, 7, and 11 are all about halfway between 247edo's steps, so 247edo lacks consistency to the 5 and higher odd limits. It is the largest numbered edo that the closest approximation to 3/2 is flatter than that of 12edo (700¢, compton fifth). Using the patent val, it tempers out 126/125, 243/242 and 1029/1024 in the 11-limit , so it supports the hemivalentino temperament (31 & 61e).

As every other step of the monstrous 494edo, 247edo can be used in the 2.9.15.21 subgroup.

Since 247 factors into 13 × 19, 247edo contains 13edo and 19edo as its subsets. 494edo, which doubles it, provides excellent correction to all the lower prime harmonics.
