The 494 equal divisions of the octave (494edo), or the 494(-tone) equal temperament (494tet, 494et) when viewed from a regular temperament perspective, divides the octave into 494 equal parts of about 2.43 cents each. It is a very strong 13- and 17-limit equal temperament. The step size is close to 729/728, the squbema, and a step is a squb.

Theory

494edo is a zeta peak and zeta peak integer edo and uniquely consistent through the 17-odd-limit. It tempers out the enneadeca, [-14 -19 19, the tricot comma, [39 -29 3, and the kwazy comma, [-53 10 16 in the 5-limit. In the 7-limit, it tempers out 4375/4374 and 703125/702464; in the 11-limit 3025/3024 and 9801/9800; in the 13-limit 1716/1715, 2080/2079, 4096/4095, 4225/4224 and 6656/6655; and in the 17-limit, 1156/1155, 1275/1274, 2431/2430, and 2500/2499. Not until 1506 do we reach a division with a lower 13- or 17-limit relative error, and it is the first past 72 with a lower 17-limit relative error. 494 is divisible by 2, 13, 19, 26, 38 and 247.
