The Golden Ratio – The Key to Amazing Design Experiences


The Golden Ratio, also referred to as the Golden Section, Golden Mean, or Divine Proportion, is the ratio of a line segment cut into two pieces of distinct lengths such that the ratio of the longer segment to the shorter segment is equal to the whole segment to that of the longer segment. It is denoted by the symbol Phi [ø].

For example, a line segment AB divided into two distinct lengths AC & CB; here AC is the longer part and CB is the shorter one, then as per the definition of the Golden Ratio stated above, mathematical representation will be as:

Suppose the longer part AC is ø and the shorter part CB is 1, then putting the value of AC, CB and AB in the above equation as shown below:


The equation ø2 – ø – 1 = 0 is a Quadratic Equation [ax2 + bx + c = 0]

Now use the Quadratic Formula 

in the above Quadratic Equation by using the given values a = 1, b = -1 and c = -1 as shown below:


The positive solution can be written as shown below:

Solving this equation will give the value of ø = 1.61803398874989484820……., which can be written as 1.61803398875.

The Golden Ratio plays a key role in design, this mathematical approach helps to get closer to creating amazing design experiences all the time.

So, use this amazing concept for better designs.

The Number 1.6: Base of Fibonacci Sequence and the Golden Ratio

This post is about the number 1.6 that forms the base of the mathematical concepts Fibonacci sequence and the Golden ratio. For better understanding of this amazing number 1.6, it is important to know about Fibonacci sequence and the Golden ratio. Golden Ratio The  Golden ratio is the ratio of a line segment cut into two pieces of distinct lengths such that the ratio of the longer segment to the shorter segment is equal to the whole segment to that of the longer segment. It is denoted by the symbol Phi [ø]. Suppose there is a line segment AB, and C is any point that divides the line segment AB into two pieces of distinct lengths such that AC is greater than CB. Then, as per the definition, [ø] = AC/CB = AB/AC. The value of the Golden ratio [ø] is 1.6 1803398875 . As you can see, the value of the Golden ratio starts with the number 1.6.

Universe Secret Code 369 Theory

When it comes to the origin of the universe secret code 369 theory, one name associated with this amazing concept is ‘Nikola Tesla’. Nikola Tesla [10 July 1856 – 07 January 1943] was not only a great inventor / scientist, but also the greatest mind of all the time. He has done a plenty of research throughout his life, and highly recognized for his contributions towards the following : High Voltage, High Frequency Power Experiments Alternating Current (AC) Electricity Supply System Apart from the above-mentioned contributions, he has given ‘Universe Secret Code 369 Theory’ and has called the number 369 – the key to the universe. Now the question that will come to the curious minds is that why Nikola Tesla has called this number the key to the universe. The answer to this question is described in this post. Let start with a specific pattern as shown below: 1 1 + 1 => 2 2 + 2 => 4 4 + 4 => 8 8 + 8 => 16; 1 + 6 => 7 16 + 16 => 32; 3 + 2 => 5 >>>>>>...

Nivenmorphic Number or Harshadmorphic Number

A Nivenmorphic number or Harshadmorphic number is a positive integer whose sum of digits is the last digits of the number i.e. the sum of the digits terminates the number. The Concept Step 1:  Take any positive integer. Step 2:  Calculate the sum of the digits of the number. Step 3:  If the sum of the digits is the last digits of the number i.e. the sum of the digits terminates the number, then the number is a Nivenmorphic number or Harshadmorphic number, else not. For Example Number: 16218 Sum of the digits of the number: [1 + 6 + 2 + 1 + 8] => 18 Here, the sum of the digits 18 is the last digits of the number i.e.  the sum of the digits terminates the number.  Hence, the number 16218 is a Nivenmorphic number or Harshadmorphic number. Hope you have understood this amazing concept of Nivenmorphic number or Harshadmorphic number. You can try yourself using any other positive integer. In case of any issue, kindly pro...
