There are a lot of JI intervals, and it's difficult to keep track of all of them. As such, people often use simpler systems to approximate JI intervals, known as [[temperament]]s. A popular choice is [[equal temperament]]s; for example the predominant [[12edo|12et]], which is widely used to approximate [[5-limit]] JI. Other equal temperaments exist, for example [[19edo|19et]], [[22edo|22et]], and [[31edo|31et]]. Besides equal temperaments, other temperaments exist, such as [[regular temperament]]s and [[well temperament]]s.
