Is there a shorter way to write the below conditional formatting formula for cells that contain 32nds?

=OR (E37=3/32, E37=5/32, E37=7/32, E37=9/32, E37=11/32, E37=13/32, E37=15/32)

I tried MOD(cell reference, 1/32)=0 but it is highlighting cells that are 32nds.

This is as simple as I could get it:
Excel Formula:
=AND(A1>1/32,A1<=15/32,ISODD(INT(32*A1)),MOD(A1,1/32)=0)

65StringJazzer, wow that was quick and it worked but have one issue.

I have two cells, one calculates the decimal version of the 32nd, and another cell shows the fraction version, and I just want to highlight the fraction version, and those cells are formatted as ##/##

There is no built-in function that can tell you whether the cell is formatted as a fraction, so conditional formatting can't distinguish between these two cells. I thought the CELL function would do it but both cells return "G" for "format".
