Template:Fractional-octave navigation 5edo is the smallest xenharmonic system, as 1edo, 2edo, 3edo and 4edo are all subsets of 12edo.

The most notable 5th-octave family is limmic temperaments - tempers out 256/243 and associates 3\5 to 3/2 as well as 1\5 to 9/8, producing temperaments like blackwood. Equally notable among small equal divisions are the cloudy temperaments - identifying 8/7 with one step of 5edo. Other families of 5-limit 5th-octave commas are:
