51 = 3 × 17, and 51edo shares its [[3/2|fifth]] with [[17edo]].
Using the [[patent val]], 51et [[tempering out|tempers out]] [[250/243]] in the [[5-limit]], [[225/224]] and [[2401/2400]] in the [[7-limit]], and [[55/54]] and [[100/99]] in the [[11-limit]]. It is the [[optimal patent val]] for [[sonic]], the rank-3 temperament tempering out 55/54, 100/99, and 250/243, and also for the rank-4 temperament tempering out 55/54. It provides an alternative tuning to [[22edo]] for [[porcupine]], with a nice fifth but a rather flat major third, and the optimal patent val for the 7- and 11-limit [[porky]] temperament, which is sonic plus 225/224. 51 contains an [[6L 1s|archeotonic]] scale based on repetitions of 8\51, creating a scale with a whole-tone-like drive towards the tonic through the 17edo semitone at the top.

51edo contains [[3edo]] and [[17edo]] as subsets. A step of 51edo is exactly 12 [[skisma]]s.
