97edo is one of the least harmonic EDOs within double digits or early hundreds, resulting in errors of well over 15%, or alternatively, above one standard deviation of 15.87% in intervals up to 15/14{{clarify}}. The first good approximation is the 16/15 semitone using the 9th note, with an error of 3%, meaning 97edo can be used as a rough version of [[16/15ths equal temperament]].
97edo is one of the least harmonic EDOs within double digits or early hundreds, resulting in errors of well above one standard deviation (about 15.87%) in superparticular intervals with denominators up to 14. The first good approximation is the 16/15 semitone using the 9th note, with an error of 3%, meaning 97edo can be used as a rough version of [[16/15ths equal temperament]].


Since 97edo is a prime EDO, it lacks specific modulation circles, symmetrical chords or sub-EDOs that are present in composite EDOs. When edos like [[19edo|19]], [[29edo|29]], [[31edo|31]], [[41edo|41]], or [[53edo|53]] have mathematically justified harmony, 97edo is essentially "irredeemable" in terms of either modulation or approximation rationales. However, this might result in interest towards this tuning through emancipation of the dissonance.
