Fibonacci Number
A member of the sequence 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5,... where each number is the sum of the previous two numbers. Invented by Leonardo of Pisa in 1220.
- The first 45 of the Fibonacci numbers are:
0 610 832040 1 987 1346269 1 1597 2178309 2 2584 3524578 3 4181 5702887 5 6765 9227465 8 10946 14930352 13 17711 24157817 21 28657 39088169 34 46368 63245986 55 75025 102334155 89 121393 165580141 144 196418 267914296 233 317811 433494437 377 514229 701408733
- If you take the ratio of a number in Fibonacci sequence with the previous number in the sequence this assymtotes to the golden mean which is a value of 1.618033989. This is shown graphically below:
