14618 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 14618edo or 14618ed2), also called 14618-tone equal temperament (14618tet) or 14618 equal temperament (14618et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 14618 equal parts of about 0.0821 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/14618, or the 14618th root of 2.
14618edo is an extremely strong 13-limit system, with a lower relative error than any previous equal temperaments, beating 6079 and not until 73591 do we find a better equal temperament in the same subgroup. A comma basis is {123201/123200, 1990656/1990625, 3294225/3294172, 4084223/4084101, 781258401/781250000}. It is much less impressive beyond that limit, though it does well in the 2.3.5.7.11.13.19.29 subgroup, holding the record of relative error until 16808.
