622 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 622edo or 622ed2), also called 622-tone equal temperament (622tet) or 622 equal temperament (622et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 622 equal parts of about 1.93 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/622, or the 622nd root of 2.
622edo is enfactored in the 41-limit, having the same tuning as the highly notable 311edo. In that regard, 622edo is a compound of two 311edos that don't intersect, and provides barely anything new apart from most characteristics of what it doubles.
622edo has potential as an add-43 system, correcting the 311edo's mapping for 43, which is the first harmonic not represented consistently by 311edo. Some 43-limit commas it tempers out are 1849/1848, 50000/49923, 59168/59049, 300125/299538, 6837602/6834375, 1048576/1048383.
