15 equal divisions of 7/3 (abbreviated 15ed7/3) is a nonoctave tuning system that divides the interval of 7/3 into 15 equal parts of about 97.8 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of (7/3)1/15, or the 15th root of 7/3.

Theory

The chord [0 5 9]\15ed7/3, closely resembling the 5-limit major triad of 15edo, is a close approximation in this tuning system to 3:4:5. A potentially tempered 15ed7/3 chain with octaves as the equivalence results in passion temperament, with 3:4:5:7 located on the same position that it is in 15ed7/3.
