128/85, the septendecimal subharmonic fifth or archagall fifth, is a 17-limit uprooted interval that comes rather close to 3/2, from which it differs by 256/255. Notably, 128/85 is one of two relatively simple intervals that can be used to generate a just version of something resembling a superpyth diatonic scale, the other being 85/64.
