This page presents a topic of primarily mathematical interest.

While it is derived from sound mathematical principles, its applications in terms of utility for actual music may be limited, highly contrived, or as yet unknown.

241200 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 241200edo or 241200ed2), also called 241200-tone equal temperament (241200tet) or 241200 equal temperament (241200et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 241200 equal parts of about 0.00498 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/241200, or the 241200th root of 2.
