47 (number) (Wikipedia)

Wikipedia's article on the number 47, consulted in 2026, is a community edited reference page rather than a peer reviewed publication. It is reliable for the kind of standard mathematical classification cited here, that 47 is the fifteenth prime and a safe prime, and for confirming that no religious or scriptural significance is recorded for the number, which is a claim about the absence of documented tradition rather than a specialist mathematical finding. Use it for that narrow purpose; a claim about the number's cultural or religious significance in a specific tradition needs that tradition's own primary or scholarly source.
