The 400 equal divisions of the octave (400edo), or the 400(-tone) equal temperament (400tet, 400et) when viewed from a regular temperament perspective, is the equal division of the octave into 400 parts of exact 3 cents each.

Theory

400edo is consistent in the 21-odd-limit. It tempers out the unidecma, [-7 22 -12, and the qintosec comma, [47 -15 -10, in the 5-limit; 2401/2400, 1959552/1953125, and 14348907/14336000 in the 7-limit; 5632/5625, 9801/9800, 117649/117612, and 131072/130977 in the 11-limit; 676/675, 1001/1000, 1716/1715, 2080/2079, 4096/4095, 4225/4224 and 39366/39325 in the 13-limit, supporting the decoid temperament and the quinmite temperament. It tempers out 936/935, 1156/1155, 2058/2057, 2601/2600, 4914/4913 and 24576/24565 in the 17-limit, and 969/968, 1216/1215, 1521/1520, and 1729/1728 in the 19-limit.

400 factors into 24 × 52, with subset edos 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 25, 40, 50, 80, 100, and 200. Notably, 200edo holds a record for the best 3/2 fifth approximation.

400 is also the number of years in the Gregorian calendar's leap cycle. 400edo supports the LeapWeek[71] scale with 231\400 as the generator, which is close to 5/12 syntonic comma meantone. Likewise, 400edo contains LeapDay[97] scale, which is a maximal evenness version of the leap rule currently in use in the world today. The scale has a 33\400 generator which is associated to 18/17, making it an approximation of 18/17 equal-step tuning. Since it tempers out the 93347/93312, a stack of three 18/17's is equated with 19/16.
