The 600 equal divisions of the octave (600edo), or the 1200(-tone) equal temperament (600tet, 600et) when viewed from a regular temperament perspective, divides the octave into 600 equal parts of exactly 2 cents each. Because the step size is 2 cents, it is the smallest EDO where every possible interval is tuned within one cent.
