104edo divides the octave into 104 parts of size 11.54 cents each. It has two different equally viable 5-limit vals, and both are useful. The flat major third val, <104 165 241|, tempers out 3125/3072, and supports magic temperament. The sharp major third val, <104 165 242|, tempers out 2048/2025 and supports diaschismic temperament.

104edo with the flat third is especially notable as an excellent tuning for magic temperament, providing the optimal patent val for 11-limit magic and the 13-limit magic extension necromancy. In the 5-limit it tempers out the magic comma, 3125/3072; in the 7-limit, it tempers out 225/224, 245/243 and 875/864; and in the 11-limit, 100/99, 896/891, 385/384 and 540/539. It provides an excellent tuning also for the rank three temperaments pairing 100/99 with 225/224 (apollo temperament), 245/243 or 875/864, or the rank four temperament tempering out 100/99, for which it gives the optimal patent val.

104 with the sharp third is excellent for 11, 13, or 17 limit diaschismic. It tempers out 2048/2025 in the 5-limit, 126/125 and 5120/5103 in the 7-limit, 176/175 and 896/891 in the 11-limit, 196/195 and 364/363 in the 13-limit and 136/135 and 256/255 in the 17-limit.

104 is also notable as a no-fives system; on 2.3.7.11.13, it tempers out 352/351, 364/363, 896/891, 2197/2187, 16807/16731, 20449/20412, 21632/21609, 26411/26364 and 10648/10647. It is the optimal patent val for the 17&87 2.3.7.11.13 subgroup temperament tempering out 352/351, 364/363 and 2197/2187, which has a 13/9 generator, three of which give a 3.
