The ''32 equal division'' divides the [[octave]] into 32 equal parts of precisely 37.5 [[cent]]s each. While even advocates of less-common [[EDO]]s can struggle to find something about it worth noting, it does provide an excellent tuning for [[Petr Pařízek]]'s [[sixix]] temperament, which tempers out the [[5-limit|5-limit]] sixix comma, 3125/2916, using its 9\32 generator of size 337.5 cents. Pařízek's preferred generator for sixix is (128/15)^(1/11), which is 337.430 cents and which gives equal error to fifths and major thirds, so 32edo does sixix about as well as sixix can be done. It also can be used (with the 9\32 generator) to tune mohavila, an 11-limit temperament which does not temper out sixix. | The ''32 equal division'' divides the [[octave]] into 32 equal parts of precisely 37.5 [[cent]]s each.
