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 [ΓΈ].

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, [ΓΈ] = AC/CB = AB/AC.

The value of the Golden ratio [ΓΈ] is 1.61803398875.

As you can see, the value of the Golden ratio starts with the number 1.6.

For more information on the Golden ratio, see https://theamazingconcepts.blogspot.com/2021/07/the-golden-ratio-key-to-amazing-design.html.

Fibonacci Sequence

Fibonacci sequence is an infinite sequence of the numbers where the next number is the sum of the last two numbers.

Fibonacci sequence starts with 0, 1, then as per the definition, the next number is 1 [0 + 1], 2 [1 + 1], and so on.

The sequence is as shown below:

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, 2584, 4181, 6765, 10946, 17711, 28657, 46368, 75025, 121393, 196418, 317811, 514229, 832040, .....

Two important points that come after analyzing the above Fibonacci sequence are:

Point 1: The first number of the Fibonacci sequence is 0 which is an even number, the next two numbers in the sequence are odd followed by an even number. This sequence continues in the same way as you can see above. The numbers in red indicate the even numbers.

Point 2: The first and the second smallest numbers that are greater than 2 in the Fibonacci sequence are 3 and 5, respectively.

Now, start dividing the next number (starting from 5) with its preceding number as shown below:

5/3 => 1.66666666667.

8/5 => 1.6.

13/8 => 1.625.

21/13 => 1.61538461538.

34/21 => 1.61904761905.

55/34 => 1.61764705882.

89/55 => 1.61818181818.

….., and so on.

As you can see, the resultant after dividing the numbers of the Fibonacci sequence starts with the number 1.6.

Hence, it can be concluded that the number 1.6 forms the base of the mathematical concepts Fibonacci sequence and the Golden ratio.

Hope you have understood this amazing concept of the number 1.6. In case of any issue, kindly provide your valuable comments.

Dudeney Number

Dudeney number is a positive integer that is equal to the cube of the sum of all its digits. Checking a Dudeney Number Step 1 : Consider any number. Step 2 : Sum all its digits. Step 3 : Cube the number obtained in Step 2. If the number obtained in Step 3 is equal to the number considered in Step 1, it is a Dudeney number. But if the number obtained in Step 3 is not equal to the number considered in Step 1, it is not a Dudeney number. Examples Example 1 Step 1 : Consider number 0. Step 2 : Sum all its digits. The resultant is 0. Step 3 : Cube the number 0 obtained in Step 2 => 0 3 => 0 x 0 x 0. The resultant is 0. The number obtained in Step 3 is equal to the number considered in Step 1, hence 0 is a Dudeney number. Example 2 Step 1 : Consider number 1. Step 2 : Sum all its digits. The resultant is 1. Step 3 : Cube the number 1 obtained in Step 2 => 1 3 => 1 x 1 x 1. The resultant is 1. The number obtained in Step 3 is equal to the number considered in Step 1, hence 1 i...

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 >>>>>>...

The RATS Sequence

In Mathematics, one of the amazing concepts is the Reverse-Add-Then-Sort (RATS) Sequence. The RATS Sequence is a sequence that is formed by reversing , adding , then sorting the digits. Let's understand this concept in detail: Form the RATS Sequence Step 1 : Consider any number (must be greater than 0). Step 2 : Reverse the number. Step 3 : Add the original number (considered in Step 1) with the number formed by reversing the number (in Step 2). Step 4 : Sort the number obtained in Step 3 in ascending order. The resultant obtained after sorting the number forms the next sequence after n iteration. Examples First Iteration Step 1 : Number 1 . Step 2 : Reversing the number 1  gives the resultant  1 . Step 3 : Adding the original number 1 (considered in Step 1) with the number formed by reversing (in Step 2)  i.e. 1 gives the resultant 2 . Step 4 : Sorting the number obtained in Step 3 in ascending order gives the resultant 2 . Here number 2 forms the next sequence after...
