336 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 336edo or 336ed2), also called 336-tone equal temperament (336tet) or 336 equal temperament (336et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 336 equal parts of about 3.57 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/336, or the 336th root of 2.

336edo has poor approximation for harmonic 3, therefore it naturally yields a 2.9 subgroup interpretation. In the 2.9.5.7 subgroup, it tempers out the schisma and the landscape comma.

Nonetheless, there are a number of mappings to be considered. Using the 336d val in the 7-limit, 336edo tempers out the octagar comma, 4000/3969, and 336def val tunes the slithy temperament in the 13-limit. 336cefg val is a tuning for the catamite temperament in the 19-limit. 336b val uses the 12edo mapping for 3/2 and tunes the 24th-octave rabic temperament.
