108edo

The 108 equal division divides the octave into 108 equal parts of 11.111 cents each. It tempers out the Pythagorean comma, 531441/524288, in the 3-limit and 1990656/1953125, the valensixthtone comma, in the 5-limit. In the 7-limit it tempers out 126/125 and 1029/1024, supporting valentine temperament, and making for a good tuning for it and for starling temperament, the planar temperament tempering out 126/125. In the 11-limit the patent val tempers out 540/539 and the 108e val tempers out 121/120 and 176/175, supporting 11-limit valentine for which it is again a good tuning.

Aside from tuning, 108 is the smallest number with a prime factorization of the form [math]\displaystyle{ p^p \cdot q^q }[/math]. Being close to 100, it is a good substitute for a relative cent if you desire the measure to have such a property. Also, multiplying it by 12 gives the fourth power of an integer.

Since 108edo has a step of 11.111 cents, it also allows one to use its MOS scales as circulating temperaments.
