1, 1, 2,
3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34
Do you see why?
We added the first two numbers, 1
+ 1 and got the third number, 2...
To get the 3,
we added the two number that came before it, 1
+ 2...
To get the 5,
we added the two number that came before it, 2
+ 3...
To get the 8,
we added the two number that came before it, 3
+ 5...
To get the 13,
we added the two number that came before it, 5
+ 8...
To get the 21,
we added the two number that came before it, 8
+ 13...
So...
We get the 34
by adding the two numbers before it, 13 + 21.
And it goes on and on and on!
This is a very famous sequence (list of
numbers) called the Fibonacci Numbers. |
