777 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 777edo or 777ed2), also called 777-tone equal temperament (777tet) or 777 equal temperament (777et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 777 equal parts of about 1.54 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/777, or the 777th root of 2.
777edo is inconsistent to 5-odd-limit and harmonic 3 is about halfway between its steps. Otherwise it is excellent in approximating harmonics 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, and 17, making it suitable for a 2.9.5.7.11.13.17 subgroup interpretation. A comma basis for the 2.9.5.7.11.13 subgroup is {4459/4455, 41503/41472, 496125/495616, 105644/105625, 123201/123200}. In addition, it tempers out the landscape comma in the 2.9.5.7 subgroup.
