5 equal divisions of 7/4 (abbreviated 5ed7/4) is a nonoctave tuning system that divides the interval of 7/4 into 5 equal parts of about 194 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of (7/4)^1/5, or the 5th root of 7/4.

In a context with octaves, this scale is associated with didacus temperament, where one step is equated to 28/25 and two steps make 5/4, and its extension hemiwurschmidt, where sixteen steps stack to 6/1 and twenty-eight stack to 23/1, hence the extremely accurate 6th and great 23rd harmonics this tuning provides.
