  2. Fibonacci sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_sequence

    With the exceptions of 1, 8 and 144 (F 1 = F 2, F 6 and F 12) every Fibonacci number has a prime factor that is not a factor of any smaller Fibonacci number (Carmichael's theorem). [56] As a result, 8 and 144 ( F 6 and F 12 ) are the only Fibonacci numbers that are the product of other Fibonacci numbers.

  3. Arabic numerals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_numerals

    The list on the right shows the Fibonacci sequence: 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377. The 2, 8, and 9 resemble Arabic numerals more than Eastern Arabic numerals or Indian numerals . Leonardo Fibonacci was a Pisan mathematician who had studied in the Pisan trading colony of Bugia , in what is now Algeria , [ 15 ] and he ...

  4. Liber Abaci - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liber_Abaci

    The Liber Abaci or Liber Abbaci [1] (Latin for "The Book of Calculation") was a 1202 Latin work on arithmetic by Leonardo of Pisa, posthumously known as Fibonacci. It is primarily famous for introducing both base-10 positional notation and the symbols known as Arabic numerals in Europe.

  5. Fibonacci - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci

    In the Fibonacci sequence, each number is the sum of the previous two numbers. Fibonacci omitted the "0" and first "1" included today and began the sequence with 1, 2, 3, ... . He carried the calculation up to the thirteenth place, the value 233, though another manuscript carries it to the next place, the value 377.

  6. Generalizations of Fibonacci numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalizations_of...

    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 ...

  7. Fibonacci prime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_prime

    A prime divides if and only if p is congruent to ±1 modulo 5, and p divides + if and only if it is congruent to ±2 modulo 5. (For p = 5, F 5 = 5 so 5 divides F 5) . Fibonacci numbers that have a prime index p do not share any common divisors greater than 1 with the preceding Fibonacci numbers, due to the identity: [6]

  8. Pisano period - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pisano_period

    For example, for p = 3 one has π 1 (3) = 8 which equals 3 2 − 1 = 8; for p = 7, one has π 1 (7) = 16, which properly divides 7 2 − 1 = 48. This analysis fails for p = 2 and p is a divisor of the squarefree part of k 2 + 4, since in these cases are zero divisors , so one must be careful in interpreting 1/2 or k 2 + 4 {\displaystyle {\sqrt ...

  9. Fibonacci numbers in popular culture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_numbers_in...

    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.
