&lt;em&gt;Thirty-one tone equal temperament&lt;/em&gt;, also called &lt;em&gt;31-tET&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;31-EDO&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;31-et&lt;/em&gt;, or &lt;em&gt;tricesimoprimal meantone temperament&lt;/em&gt;, is the scale derived by dividing the octave into 31 &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/equal"&gt;equally&lt;/a&gt; large steps. The term 'Tricesimoprimal' was first used by &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/Adriaan%20Fokker"&gt;Adriaan Fokker&lt;/a&gt;. Each step is equivalent to a frequency ratio of the 31st root of 2, or 38.71 &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/cents"&gt;cents&lt;/a&gt;. 31's perfect fifth is flat of the just interval 3:2 (over five cents), as befits a tuning supporting meantone, but the major third is less than a cent sharp (of just 5:4). 31's approximation of 7:4, a cent flat, is also very close to just. Because of these near-just values 31-et is relatively quite accurate and is in fact the sixth Zeta function integral tuning, &lt;!-- ws:start:WikiTextUrlRule:877:http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequences/A117538 --&gt;&lt;a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequences/A117538" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequences/A117538&lt;/a&gt;&lt;!-- ws:end:WikiTextUrlRule:877 --&gt;. Many 7-limit JI scales are well-approximated in 31 (with tempering, of course). For JI that uses primes 3 and 7, but no 5, try &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/36edo"&gt;36edo&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
