The Greek Letter Phi
Mathematics Exercise
To arrive at the numerical value
of Phi,
start off with any two numbers,
add them then divide the new sum by the previous digit. As you continue
to add new numbers in the sequence, you will approach the value of phi.
Formula sequence
Example Number
sequence
A + B
2 + 5
2, 5
A + B = C
2 + 5 = 7
2, 5, 7
C ÷ B = phi
7 ÷ 5 = 1.4
C + B = D
7 + 5 = 12
2, 5, 7, 12
D ÷ C = phi
12 ÷ 7 = 1.714
D + C = E
12 + 7 = 19
2, 5, 7, 12, 19
E ÷ D = phi
19 ÷ 12 = 1.583
E + D = F
12 + 19 = 31
2, 5, 7, 12, 19, 31
F ÷ E = phi
31 ÷ 19 = 1.632
F + E = G
31 + 19 = 50
2, 5, 7, 12, 19, 31, 50
G ÷ F = phi
50 ÷ 31 = 1.613
G + F = H
50 + 31 = 81 2, 5, 7, 12, 19,
31, 50, 81
H ÷ F = phi
81 ÷ 50 = 1.620
H + F = I
81 + 50 = 131 2,5,7, 12,19,31, 50,81,131
I ÷ H = phi
131 ÷ 81 = 1.6173
then... 212 ÷ 131 = 1.6183...
343 ÷ 212 = 1.6179...
555 ÷ 343 = 1.6180...
898 ÷ 555 = 1.6180...
You can continue adding the numbers but phi will become a transcending figure without resolution similar to the number "Pi".
No matter what two numbers you start
out with,
THE RESULT WILL STILL BE...
"Phi"
