324 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 324edo or 324ed2), also called 324-tone equal temperament (324tet) or 324 equal temperament (324et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 324 equal parts of about 3.7 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 2^1/324, or the 324th root of 2.

324edo is inconsistent to the 5-odd-limit and harmonic 3 is about halfway between its steps, making it a dual-fifth system, with the flat fifth being the 700-cent fifth coming from 12edo, and the sharp fifth coming from 162edo.

It is nonetheless an excellent 2.9.15.21.11.13 subgroup tuning.
