'''111edo''' is the [[equal division of the octave]] into 111 parts, each of size 10.81 [[cent]]s.  


111edo is [[consistent]] through to the [[21-odd-limit]], and is the smallest edo uniquely consistent through the [[15-odd-limit]], marking it as an important higher limit tuning. It is also significant for lower limits, especially in terms of what it tempers out; for example it tempers out [[176/175]] and gives an excellent [[optimal patent val]] for the corresponding [[11-limit]] rank-4 temperament. In fact in the [[7-limit]] it tempers out [[1728/1715]], [[3136/3125]] and [[5120/5103]], and in the 11-limit, 176/175, [[540/539]], 1331/1323, 1375/1372, and the [[quartisma]] 117440512/117406179. It is a particularly good tuning for the 11- or 13-versions of [[semisept]], the 31&111 temperament, and [[buzzard]], the 58&111 temperament. The trio piece below is in [[Orwellismic family #Guanyin|guanyin temperament]], the [[planar temperament]] [[tempering out]] 176/175 and 540/539, for which 111 also provides the optimal patent val.

111edo is [[consistent]] through to the [[21-odd-limit]], and is the smallest edo uniquely consistent through the [[15-odd-limit]], marking it as an important higher limit tuning.  
 
It is also significant for lower limits, especially in terms of what it tempers out; for example, it tempers out [[176/175]] and gives an excellent [[optimal patent val]] for the corresponding [[11-limit]] rank-4 temperament.  
 
In fact in the [[7-limit]] it tempers out [[1728/1715]], [[3136/3125]] and [[5120/5103]], and in the 11-limit, 176/175, [[540/539]], 1331/1323, 1375/1372, and notably the [[quartisma]].  
 
It is a particularly good tuning for the 11- or 13-versions of [[semisept]], the 31&111 temperament, and [[buzzard]], the 58&111 temperament. The trio piece in [[#Music]] section is in [[Orwellismic family #Guanyin|guanyin temperament]], the [[planar temperament]] [[tempering out]] 176/175 and 540/539, for which 111 also provides the optimal patent val.


The prime factorization is 111 = 3 × 37.
