391 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 391edo or 391ed2), also called 391-tone equal temperament (391tet) or 391 equal temperament (391et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 391 equal parts of about 3.07 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/391, or the 391st root of 2.

391edo has a sharp tendency, with prime harmonics 3 to 13 all tuned sharp. The equal temperament tempers out 5120/5103, 420175/419904, and 29360128/29296875 in the 7-limit, and provides the optimal patent val for the hemifamity temperament, and septiquarter, the 99 & 292 temperament. It tempers out 3025/3024, 4000/3993, 5632/5625, and 6250/6237 in the 11-limit; and 676/675, 1716/1715 and 4225/4224 in the 13-limit, and provides further optimal patent vals for temperaments tempering out 5120/5103 such as alphaquarter.

The 391bcde val provides a tuning for 11-limit miracle very close to the POTE tuning.
