0 Guest Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 (edited) each number is the sum of the two previous numbers it should be 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144 etc....... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_number or did you mean that you were coming up with your own sequence Edited October 29, 2009 by rocky76 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Just change the base in expressing each Fibonacci number. The nth position is written in base n, e.g. 21 must be in base 8 (octal), hence is written 25 (2x8 + 5x1), 34 in base 9 is written 37. X should be in base 10, hence its usual form, hence the 10th Fibonacci number, 55. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post 4 has my correct sequence of numbers, I certainly wasn't asking what the Fibonacci is Edited October 29, 2009 by Lil Stinker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
