The '''47-limit''' consists of [[just intonation]] [[interval]]s whose [[ratio]]s contain no [[prime factor]]s higher than 47. It is the 15th [[prime limit]] and is thus a superset of the [[43-limit]] and a subset of the [[53-limit]].

It is the highest prime limit that can be represented with [[Helmholtz-Ellis notation]].
These things are contained by the 47-limit, but not the 43-limit:
* The [[47-odd-limit|47-]], [[49-odd-limit|49-]], and [[51-odd-limit]];
* Mode 24, 25 and 26 of the harmonic or subharmonic series.
