578 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 578edo or 578ed2), also called 578-tone equal temperament (578tet) or 578 equal temperament (578et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 578 equal parts of about 2.08 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/578, or the 578th root of 2.

578edo is enfactored in the 5-limit, tempering out 32805/32768 (schisma) with the same tuning as 289edo. It tempers out 118098/117649 (stearnsma) which together with the schisma gives 7-limit pogo temperament, the 224 & 354 temperament. In the 11-limit it tempers out 540/539 and 4000/3993 and provides the optimal patent val for 11-limit pogo and the planar temperament hades, as well as other temperaments tempering out 540/539, the rank-4 temperament for which it also provides the optimal patent val. In the 13-limit, it tempers out 729/728, 1575/1573, 1716/1715 and 2080/2079, and provides the optimal patent val for 13-limit pogo.
