17461 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 17461edo or 17461ed2), also called 17461-tone equal temperament (17461tet) or 17461 equal temperament (17461et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 17461 equal parts of about 0.0687 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/17461, or the 17461st root of 2.
