218edo
| ← 217edo | 218edo | 219edo → |
218edo is inconsistent to the 5-odd-limit, with harmonic 3 falling about halfway between its steps. However, it contains very accurate ratios, such as 7/4, 9/7, 9/8, 10/9, 11/10, 17/16, and 19/16, which are approximated within 0.55-cent deviation (10% the step size). The suggested subgroups are therefore 2.9.7.17.19 and 2.9.5.7.11.17.19.23.

Subsets and supersets
Since 218 factors into 2 × 109, 218edo contains 2edo and 109edo as its subsets. 436edo, which doubles it, is worth exploring.
