Original Wikitext content:
The //730 equal temperament// divides the octave into 730 equal parts of 1.644 cents each. It is a very strong five-limit system, but is also distinctly consistent up to the 15-limit. It tempers out the minortone comma, |-16 35 -17>, the kwasy comma, |-53 10 16>, the whoosh comma, |37 25 -33> and the pirate comma, |-90 -15 49>. In the 7-limit it tempers out 4375/4374 and 2100875/2097152, so that it supports [[Ragismic microtemperaments#Mitonic|mitonic temperament]]. In the 11-limit, 3025/3024 and 422576/421875, so that it supports [[Ragismic microtemperaments#Deca|deca temperament]]. In the 13-limit, 1001/1000 and 4225/4224, supporting 13-limit deca. W. S. B. Woolhouse proposed 730edo as a logarithmic measure of [[interval measurement]], sometimes called the Woolhouse unit. While 730 is divisible by 2, 5, 10, 73, 146 and 365, it is not divisible by 12, which can be regarded as either a good thing or a bad one.
