    Ratio Sequence
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the ratios of consecutive Fibonacci numbers, expressed as F_n+1/F_n. Participants analyze specific ratios, such as F_2/F_1 = 1, F_3/F_2 = 2, and F_4/F_3 = 1.5, highlighting the pattern of these ratios. Clarification is sought regarding the relationship between the numerator and denominator in the ratio formula. The sequence of ratios approaches the golden ratio as n increases, illustrating the mathematical properties of the Fibonacci sequence. Understanding these ratios is essential for grasping the sequence's significance in mathematics.

The sqeuence of ratios of a fabinacci number

F_n+1/F_n

on looking at this.

F_2/F_1 =1/1 =1

F_3/F_2 =2/1 =2

F_4/F_3 =3/2 =1.5

F_5/F_4 = 5/3 = 1.667

Why would F_n+1 = at F_4 =3 with also F_3=2 I think i understand the squence is fabin accie on the denominater but on the numerator its addition of the fraction before is this F_n+1 were i is a n number before not added one number.

What are you asking? There is some information missing.

Adding some punctuation would be helpful, as well.

Each term in the sequence of ratios is the (n+1)st Fibonacci number divided by the nth Fibonacci number.

With this Fibonacci sequence: {1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, ...}
the sequence of ratios is: {1/1, 2/1, 3/2, 5/3, 8/5, 13/8, ...} = {1, 2, 1.5, 1.666..., 1.6, 1.625, ...}
