1517 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 1517edo or 1517ed2), also called 1517-tone equal temperament (1517tet) or 1517 equal temperament (1517et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 1517 equal parts of about 0.791 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/1517, or the 1517th root of 2.

1517edo is only consistent to the 5-odd-limit and the errors of both harmonics 3 and 5 are quite large. To start with, we may consider the patent val and 1517d val up to the 11-limit. Otherwise, it has a reasonable approximation to the 2.9.15.7.11.17 subgroup with optional additions of either 13 or 19.

For higher harmonics, the first 5 prime harmonics which are approximated below 25% are: 7, 11, 19, 23, 59. In the 2.7.11.19.23.59 subgroup, 1517edo has a comma basis {52877/52864, 157757/157696, 194672/194579, [18 -12  2  1 1  0, [44  -4 -9  1 0 -1}.
