5-edo divides the 1200-[[cent]] octave into 5 equal parts, making its smallest interval exactly 240 [[cent|cents]], or the fifth root of 2. 5edo is the 3rd [[prime numbers|prime]] edo, after [[2edo]] and [[3edo]]. Most importantly, 5-edo is the smallest [[edo]] containing xenharmonic intervals! (1edo 2edo 3edo 4edo are all subsets of 12edo.)

If 5-edo is regarded as a temperament, which is to say as 5-et, then the most salient fact is that 16/15 is tempered out. This means in 5-et the major third and the fourth, and the minor sixth and the fifth, are not distinguished; this is 5-limit [[Trienstonic clan|father temperament]].

Also tempered out is 27/25, if we temper this out in preference to 16/15 we obtain [[Bug family|bug temperament]], which equates 10/9 with 6/5: it is a little more perverse even than father. Because these intervals are so large, this sort of analysis is less significant with 5 than it becomes with larger and more accurate divisions, but it still plays a role. For example, I-IV-V-I is the same as 1-III-V-I and involves triads with common intervals because of fourth-thirds equivalence.

Despite its lack of accuracy, 5EDO is the second [[The Riemann Zeta Function and Tuning#Zeta%20EDO%20lists|zeta integral edo]], after 2EDO. It also is the smallest equal division representing the [[9-limit]] [[consistent]]ly, giving a distinct value modulo five to 2, 3, 5, 7 and 9. Hence in a way similar to how [[4edo]] can be used, and which is discussed in that article, it can be used to represent [[7-limit]] intervals in terms of their position in a pentad, by giving a triple of integers representing a pentad in the [[The Seven Limit Symmetrical Lattices|lattice]] of tetrads/pentads together with the number of scale steps in 5EDO. However, while [[2edo]] represents the [[3-limit]] consistently, [[3edo]] the [[5-limit]], [[4edo]] the [[7-limit]] and [[5edo]] the [[9-limit]], to represent the [[11-limit]] consistently with a [[patent val]] requires going all the way to [[22edo]].

  If 5-edo is regarded as a temperament, which is to say as 5-et, then the most salient fact is that 16/15 is tempered out. This means in 5-et the major third and the fourth, and the minor sixth and the fifth, are not distinguished; this is 5-limit &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/Trienstonic%20clan"&gt;father temperament&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

Also tempered out is 27/25, if we temper this out in preference to 16/15 we obtain &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/Bug%20family"&gt;bug temperament&lt;/a&gt;, which equates 10/9 with 6/5: it is a little more perverse even than father. Because these intervals are so large, this sort of analysis is less significant with 5 than it becomes with larger and more accurate divisions, but it still plays a role. For example, I-IV-V-I is the same as 1-III-V-I and involves triads with common intervals because of fourth-thirds equivalence.&lt;br /&gt;

  5edo does not have any strong consonance nor dissonance. The 240 cent interval can serve as either a major second or minor third, and the 960 cent interval as either a major sixth or minor seventh.

The fifth is likewise about 18 cents sharp of a just fifth, dissonant but still easily recognizable.&lt;br /&gt;
