The famous '''53 equal | The famous '''53 equal divisions of the octave''' ('''53edo'''), or '''53(-tone) equal temperament''' ('''53tet''', '''53et''') when viewed from a [[regular temperament]] perspective, divides the [[octave]] into 53 [[equal]] comma-sized parts of around 22.6 [[cent]]s each. | ||

53edo is notable as a [[5-limit]] system, a fact apparently first noted by Isaac Newton, tempering out the [[schisma]] (32805/32768), the [[kleisma]] (15625/15552), the [[amity comma]] (1600000/1594323), the [[semicomma]] (2109375/2097152), and the [[vulture comma]] (10485760000/10460353203). In the 7-limit it tempers out [[225/224]], 1728/1715 and [[3125/3087]], the marvel comma, the gariboh, and the orwell comma. In the 11-limit, it tempers out [[99/98]] and [[121/120]], and is the [[optimal patent val]] for [[Big Brother]] temperament, which tempers out both, as well as [[Semicomma family #Orwell|11-limit orwell temperament]], which also tempers out the 11-limit comma [[176/175]]. In the 13-limit, it tempers out [[169/168]], [[275/273]], [[325/324]], [[540/539]], [[625/624]], [[676/675]], and [[2080/2079]], and gives the optimal patent val for [[Marvel family #Athene|athene temperament]]. It is the seventh [[The Riemann Zeta Function and Tuning#Zeta EDO lists|strict zeta edo]] and the 16th [[prime edo]], following [[47edo]] and coming before [[59edo]]. | 53edo is notable as a [[5-limit]] system, a fact apparently first noted by Isaac Newton, tempering out the [[schisma]] (32805/32768), the [[kleisma]] (15625/15552), the [[amity comma]] (1600000/1594323), the [[semicomma]] (2109375/2097152), and the [[vulture comma]] (10485760000/10460353203).
