1747 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 1747edo or 1747ed2), also called 1747-tone equal temperament (1747tet) or 1747 equal temperament (1747et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 1747 equal parts of about 0.687 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/1747, or the 1747th root of 2.

Theory

1747edo is consistent to the 5-limit, tempering out [39 -29 3 and [-78 -46 65. Its lower harmonics have a higher error than its higher ones, while the harmonics 5 and 7 are about halfway its steps, its harmonic 31 has a relative error of only 1.9 percent. 1747edo is strong in the 2.3.19.29.31 subgroup, tempering out 191153471/191102976, 3122289/3121792, 324547248128/324270949293 and 1870256930816/1869963909147. Using the 2.3.5.7.17 subgroup, it tempers out 1225/1224.
