47/32 is the quadracesimoseptimal subfifth or harmonic subfifth. It is the octave-reduced 47th harmonic and is close to 5\9 (666.667 ¢). It is flat of the perfect fifth (3/2) by 48/47, and sharp of the Pythagorean augmented fourth (729/512) by 752/729. This is the smallest octave-reduced harmonic after 3/2 that is recognizable as a "fifth" interval – specifically an antidiatonic fifth. The closest before this point is 23/16, a large tritone.
