The 5-limit superparticular interval 16/15 is the just diatonic semitone, classic(al) diatonic semitone or ptolemaic diatonic semitone[1] – the difference between the major third 5/4 and the fourth 4/3, and between 3/2 and 8/5.
Temperaments
When this ratio is taken as a comma to be tempered, it produces father temperament, where 4/3 and 5/4 are equated. In this temperament, major thirds and fifths become octave complements of each other.
