This page presents a novelty topic.
It may contain ideas which are less likely to find practical applications in music, or numbers or structures that are arbitrary or exceedingly small, large, or complex. Novelty topics are often developed by a single person or a small group. As such, this page may also contain idiosyncratic terms, notation, or conceptual frameworks. |

31920edo is distinctly consistent through the 41-odd-limit, with a smaller 41-limit relative error than any smaller distinctly consistent division. Its 3rd harmonic derives from 665edo. It is also enfactored in the 5-limit, with the same tuning as 15960edo, which is an atomic tuning, tempering out the Kirnberger's atom, [161 -84 -12⟩.
The simplest of the commas under the 43-limit it tempers out are 47916/47915, 52480/52479, 58311/58310, 60516/60515, 67600/67599, 68783/68782, 72501/72500, 75141/75140, 76875/76874, 81549/81548, 81796/81795, 82944/82943, 88320/88319, 93093/93092, 93500/93499, 96876/96875 and 98736/98735.

Subsets and supersets
31920 is a very composite number, with many divisors: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 19, 20, 21, 24, 28, 30, 35, 38, 40, 42, 48, 56, 57, 60, 70, 76, 80, 84, 95, 105, 112, 114, 120, 133, 140, 152, 168, 190, 210, 228, 240, 266, 280, 285, 304, 336, 380, 399, 420, 456, 532, 560, 570, 665, 760, 798, 840, 912, 1064, 1140, 1330, 1520, 1596, 1680, 1995, 2128, 2280, 2660, 3192, 3990, 4560, 5320, 6384, 7980, 10640, and 15960. These facts make it a good candidate for an interval size measure, and one step of it may be called an imp, so that the cent is 26.6 imps, and a 12edo semitone is 2660 imps. A single step of 15edo is 2128 imps, of 19edo 1680 imps, of 84edo 380 imps, of 140edo 228 imps, of 152edo 210 imps, of 190edo 168 imps, and of 665edo 48 imps.
