The Fibonacci numbers are a sequence of integers, typically starting with 0, 1 and continuing 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, ..., each new number being the sum of the previous two. The Fibonacci numbers, often presented in conjunction with the golden ratio, are a popular theme in culture. They have been mentioned in novels, films, television shows, and songs.
Fibonacci was born around 1170 to Guglielmo, an Italian merchant and customs official. [3] Guglielmo directed a trading post in Bugia (Béjaïa), in modern-day Algeria. [16] Fibonacci travelled with him as a young boy, and it was in Bugia (Algeria) where he was educated that he learned about the Hindu–Arabic numeral system. [17] [7]
A Fibonacci prime is a Fibonacci number that is prime. The first few are: [47] 2, 3, 5, 13, 89, 233, 1597, 28657, 514229, ... Fibonacci primes with thousands of digits have been found, but it is not known whether there are infinitely many. [48] F kn is divisible by F n, so, apart from F 4 = 3, any Fibonacci prime must have a prime index.
The n-Fibonacci constant is the ratio toward which adjacent -Fibonacci numbers tend; it is also called the n th metallic mean, and it is the only positive root of =. For example, the case of n = 1 {\displaystyle n=1} is 1 + 5 2 {\displaystyle {\frac {1+{\sqrt {5}}}{2}}} , or the golden ratio , and the case of n = 2 {\displaystyle n=2} is 1 + 2 ...
Fibonacci instead would write the same fraction to the left, i.e., . Fibonacci used a composite fraction notation in which a sequence of numerators and denominators shared the same fraction bar; each such term represented an additional fraction of the given numerator divided by the product of all the denominators below and to the right of it.
108 is: . an abundant number.; a semiperfect number.; a tetranacci number. [1]the hyperfactorial of 3 since it is of the form .; divisible by the value of its φ function, which is 36.
The use of the golden ratio in investing is also related to more complicated patterns described by Fibonacci numbers (e.g. Elliott wave principle and Fibonacci retracement). However, other market analysts have published analyses suggesting that these percentages and patterns are not supported by the data. [107]
