'''91edo''', the '''91 equal division''' divides the octave into 91 parts of 13.187 cents each. The 3, 5 and 7 for 91 are on the flat side, making this a mostly flat system. It provides the [[optimal patent val]] for 11- and 13-limit [[septimin]] temperament, and the 13-limit rank three [[tripod]] temperament, as well as the 11-limit rank four temperament tempering out [[245/242]] and the 13-limit rank five temperament tempering out [[105/104]], or rank four tempering out 105/104 and [[144/143]], or else 105/104 and [[196/195]] and hence [[225/224]] also. It tempers out [[15625/15552]] in the 5-limit, 225/224 and [[4375/4374]] in the 7-limit, 245/242, [[385/384]] in the 11-limit, and 105/104, 144/143, 196/195 in the 13-limit.

91 is the smallest composite number whose composite character is not immediately evident in the decimal system; it is, in fact, the product of 7 and 13.
