The '''296 equal divisions of the octave''' ('''296edo'''), or the '''296(-tone) equal temperament''' ('''296tet''', '''296et''') when viewed from a [[regular temperament]] perspective, is the [[EDO|equal division of the octave]] into 296 parts of about 4.05 [[cent]]s each.

In the 5-limit, 296et not only tempers out the [[semicomma]] of 5-limit orwell (orson) temperament, 2109375/2097152, it also provides its [[optimal patent val]], and tempers out the minortone comma, {{monzo| -16 35 -17 }}. It is also an interesting temperament in higher limits, being distinctly consistent through to the 15-odd-limit. In the 7-limit it tempers out [[4375/4374]] and 16875/16807, supporting 7-limit [[octoid]] temperament. In the 11-limit, it tempers out 1375/1372, [[6250/6237]], [[540/539]], [[4000/3993]] and [[3025/3024]], and in the 13-limit [[625/624]], [[729/728]], [[1575/1573]], [[1716/1715]], [[2080/2079]], so that it also supports the 11- and 13-limit versions of octoid.
