124 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 124edo or 124ed2), also called 124-tone equal temperament (124tet) or 124 equal temperament (124et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 124 equal parts of about 9.677 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 2^1/124, or the 124th root of 2.

124edo is closely related to 31edo, but the patent vals differ on the mapping for 3. It tempers out 2048/2025 (diaschisma) and 19073486328125/18075490334784 in the 5-limit. Using the patent val, it tempers out 3136/3125, 4000/3969, and 33614/32805 in the 7-limit; 385/384, 1232/1215, 1331/1323, and 3773/3750 in the 11-limit; 196/195, 364/363, 572/567, 625/624, and 1001/1000 in the 13-limit. Note that although its sharp fifth is slightly closer to just, both fifths are about equally off in both directions, and its 9th harmonic is especially accurate as a result, so it can be considered a dual-fifths system, in which it performs very well in the 2.9.5.7.11.13.17.19.23.37 subgroup (AKA the dual-fifth no-31's 37-limit), which is arguably the right way to analyze its approximations of JI. Also interesting is that one may want to double the number of notes to add a fifth closer to just, but this causes the relative errors of other primes to double leading to inconsistencies, so its most reasonable and capable conceptualization seems to be that of a dual-fifth system.
