404 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 404edo or 404ed2), also called 404-tone equal temperament (404tet) or 404 equal temperament (404et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 404 equal parts of about 2.97 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/404, or the 404th root of 2.

Theory

404edo is enfactored in the 11-limit, with the same tuning as 202edo. The alternative 404e val, with lower overall error, tempers out 3025/3024 and 41503/41472 in the 11-limit; and 847/845, 1001/1000, and 1716/1715 in the 13-limit, whereas the patent val in the 13-limit tempers out 4225/4224.
