Stated more mathematically, if N-edo is an [[equal division of the octave]], and if for any interval r, N(r) is the best N-edo approximation to r, then N is '''consistent''' with respect to a set of intervals S if for any two intervals a and b in S where ab is also in S, N(ab) = N(a) + N(b). Normally this is considered when S is the set of [[Odd limit|q odd limit intervals]], consisting of everything of the form 2^n u/v, where u and v are odd integers less than or equal to q. N is then said to be ''q limit consistent''. If each interval in the q-limit is mapped to a unique value by N, then it said to be ''uniquely q limit consistent''.

The page ''[[Minimal consistent EDOs]]'' shows the smallest edo that is consistent or uniquely consistent in a given odd limit while the page ''[[Consistency levels of small EDOs]]'' shows the largest odd limit that a given edo is consistent or uniquely consistent in.

== Consistency to distance ''m'' ==

If ''m'' ≥ 0, a chord ''C'' is '''consistent to distance''' ''m'' in ''N''-edo if there exists an approximation ''C' '' of ''C'' in ''N''-edo such that:
