The '''161 equal divisions of the octave''' ('''161edo'''), or the '''161(-tone) equal temperament''' ('''161tet''', '''161et''') when viewed from a [[regular temperament]] perspective, divides the [[octave]] into 161 [[equal]] parts of about 7.45 [[cent]]s each.

Theory

161et tempers out the würschmidt comma, 393216/390625, in the 5-limit; 3136/3125, 6144/6125 and 2401/2400 in the 7-limit; 243/242, 441/440, 540/539 and 5632/5625 in the 11-limit; and 351/350, 847/845, 1001/1000, 1188/1183, 1575/1573 and 1716/1715 in the 13-limit. It serves as the optimal patent val for the mintone temperament in the 5-, 7-, 11- and 13-limit.

Prime harmonics

In the range of edos from 100 to 200, 161edo is notable as being low in 29-limit relative error.
