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.
