4172 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 4172edo or 4172ed2), also called 4172-tone equal temperament (4172tet) or 4172 equal temperament (4172et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 4172 equal parts of about 0.288 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/4172, or the 4172nd root of 2.

Theory
