Golden

number is known as the Golden Ratio. In fact, our brains are seemingly hard-wired to prefer objects and images that use the Golden Ratio. The Golden Ratio is the limit of the ratios of successive terms of the Fibonacci sequence. The Fibonacci ratio is very close to the Golden ratio. The mathematical ideas the Fibonacci Sequence leads to, the Golden Ratio, and the Golden Spirals. As the number increases, the ratio becomes closer to 1.618. For instance, the ratio of 3 to 5 is 1.666. But the ratio of 13 to 21 is 1.625. As the numbers increase, the ratio of 144 to 233 is 1.618. These numbers are all successive numbers in the Fibonacci sequence. The Golden Ratio is witnessed almost everywhere in nature, even in areas least expected. Some cases where the golden ratio is applied is in hurricanes, faces, and spiral galaxies.…
