The 111 equal divisions of the octave (111edo), or the 111(-tone) equal temperament (111tet, 111et) when viewed from a regular temperament perspective, is the equal division of the octave into 111 parts, each of size 10.81 cents.

Theory

111edo is consistent through to the 21-odd-limit, and is the smallest edo uniquely consistent through the 15-odd-limit, marking it as an important higher limit tuning.

It is also significant for lower limits, especially in terms of what it tempers out; for example, it tempers out 176/175 and gives an excellent optimal patent val for the corresponding 11-limit rank-4 temperament.

In fact in the 7-limit it tempers out 1728/1715, 3136/3125 and 5120/5103, and in the 11-limit, 176/175, 540/539, 1331/1323, 1375/1372, and notably the quartisma.

It is a particularly good tuning for the 11- or 13-versions of semisept, the 31&111 temperament, and buzzard, the 58&111 temperament. The trio piece in #Music section is in guanyin temperament, the planar temperament tempering out 176/175 and 540/539, for which 111 also provides the optimal patent val.

The prime factorization is 111 = 3 × 37.
