Various equal divisions of the octave have close approximations of acoustic phi, or , ≈833.090296357¢. [math]\displaystyle{ φ }[/math]If the [math]\displaystyle{ m^{th} }[/math] step of [math]\displaystyle{ n }[/math]ed2 is a close approximation of [math]\displaystyle{ φ }[/math], the [math]\displaystyle{ n^{th} }[/math] step of [math]\displaystyle{ m }[/math]ed[math]\displaystyle{ φ }[/math] will be a close approximation of 2.
For example, the 7th step of 10ed2 is 840¢, and the 10th step of 7ed[math]\displaystyle{ φ }[/math] is ≈1190.128995¢. As another example, the 9th step of 13ed2 is ≈830.7692308¢, and the 13th step of 9ed[math]\displaystyle{ φ }[/math] is ≈1203.35265¢.
Such [math]\displaystyle{ m }[/math]ed[math]\displaystyle{ φ }[/math] are interesting as variants of their respective [math]\displaystyle{ n }[/math]ed[math]\displaystyle{ 2 }[/math], introducing some combination tone powers.
