3178 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 3178edo or 3178ed2), also called 3178-tone equal temperament (3178tet) or 3178 equal temperament (3178et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 3178 equal parts of about 0.378 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/3178, or the 3178th root of 2.
This edo is quite accurate in the 23-limit and has an exceptional approximation of harmonic 13. However, like most edos of this size, it is rather impractical to use. It tempers out several of the smaller 23-limit superparticular commas, including 28561/28560, 28900/28899, 43264/43263, and 43681/43680.
