10afdo (arithmetic frequency division of the octave), or 10odo (otonal division of the octave), divides the octave into ten parts of 1/10 each. As a scale it may be known as mode 10 of the harmonic series or the Over-10 scale. Unlike its half 5afdo, 10afdo is actually quite an effective scale having a minor and supermajor triad on the root.

If the base frequency is 1 Hz (or any other unit), the resulting values are 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 times bigger than the base, followed by 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, then 200, 300, 400, 500, etc. From this perspective, 10afdo constitutes the numerical layout of a logarithmic ruler.
