424 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 424edo or 424ed2), also called 424-tone equal temperament (424tet) or 424 equal temperament (424et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 424 equal parts of about 2.83 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/424, or the 424th root of 2.
Theory
424edo is consistent to the 9-odd-limit, but the harmonic 5 is about halfway between its steps. It is enfactored in the 7-limit, with the same tuning as 212edo. The approximation to 11, although closer to just than 212edo's, tends sharp, so its improvement is debatable. All things considered, a 2.3.13.17.19.23 subgroup interpretation with optional additions of 7, 11, or both, seems most reasonable.

Subsets and supersets
Since 424 factors into 23 × 53, 424edo has subset edos 2, 4, 8, 53, 106, and 212. 848edo, which doubles it, gives a good correction to the harmonic 5.
