834 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 834edo or 834ed2), also called 834-tone equal temperament (834tet) or 834 equal temperament (834et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 834 equal parts of about 1.44 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/834, or the 834th root of 2.
Theory
834edo is enfactored in the 3-limit with the same tuning as 417edo and is inconsistent to the 5-odd-limit, with three mappings possible for the 7-limit:
- ⟨834 1322 1936 2341] (patent val),
- ⟨834 1322 1937 2341] (834c),
- ⟨834 1322 1937 2342] (834cd).
Using the patent val, it is enfactored in the 5-limit, tempering out 1600000/1594323 and [-71 -5 34⟩ in the 5-limit. It further tempers out 2401/2400, 4802000/4782969 and [-28 -1 20 -6⟩ in the 7-limit.
Using the 834c val, it tempers out [40 7 -22⟩ and [-31 43 -16⟩ in the 5-limit; 823543/820125, 1959552/1953125 and 1640558367/1638400000 in the 7-limit.
Using the 834cd val, it tempers out [40 7 -22⟩ and [-31 43 -16⟩ in the 5-limit; 250047/250000, 283435200/282475249 and 102760448/102515625 in the 7-limit.

Subsets and supersets
Since 834 factors into 2 × 3 × 139, 834edo has subset edos 2, 3, 6, 139, 278, and 417. 1668edo, which doubles it, gives a good correction to the harmonic 5.
