The 176 equal divisions of the octave (176edo), or the 176(-tone) equal temperament (176tet, 176et) when viewed from a regular temperament perspective, is the equal division of the octave into 176 parts of about 6.82 cents each, a size close to 243/242, the rastma.
Theory
176edo is consistent to the 11-odd-limit. The equal temperament tempers out 78732/78125 (sensipent comma) and [41 -20 -4⟩ (undim comma) in the 5-limit; 6144/6125, 10976/10935, and 50421/50000 in the 7-limit; 441/440, 3388/3375, 6912/6875, 8019/8000, 9801/9800 and 16384/16335 in the 11-limit. Using the patent val, 351/350, 364/363, 2080/2079, 2197/2187, and 4096/4095 in the 13-limit.
It supports the bison temperament and the commatic temperament, and provides the optimal patent val for countermiracle in the 7- and 11-limit, and countermanna, one of the extensions, in the 13-limit.
