184 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 184edo or 184ed2), also called 184-tone equal temperament (184tet) or 184 equal temperament (184et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 184 equal parts of about 6.52 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/184, or the 184th root of 2.
184edo is closely related to 46edo, but the patent vals differ on the mapping for 5. It is inconsistent to the 5-odd-limit and higher limits, with five mappings possible for the 11-limit: ⟨184 292 427 517 637] (patent val), ⟨184 291 427 516 636] (184bde), ⟨184 292 428 517 637] (184c), ⟨184 292 427 516 636] (184de), and ⟨184 292 427 517 636] (184e).

Using the 184c val, it tempers out the diaschisma, 2048/2025 and the sensipent comma, 78732/78125 in the 5-limit; 2401/2400 and 65536/64827 in the 7-limit; 176/175, 896/891, 3773/3750, and 14641/14580 in the 11-limit; 351/350, 352/351, 364/363, and 9295/9261 in the 13-limit.
Using the 184de val, it tempers out 1029/1024, 153664/151875, and 214375/209952 in the 7-limit; 896/891, 1331/1323, 2401/2376, and 3773/3750 in the 11-limit; 196/195, 676/675, 1001/1000, 3185/3168 in the 13-limit.
Using the 184e val, it tempers out 385/384, 3388/3375, 9801/9800, and 12100/11907 in the 11-limit; 275/273, 572/567, 640/637, and 847/845 in the 13-limit.
