278 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 278edo or 278ed2), also called 278-tone equal temperament (278tet) or 278 equal temperament (278et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 278 equal parts of about 4.32 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/278, or the 278th root of 2.

It is part of the optimal ET sequence for the quintaleap temperament. It also supports parapyth.
