After the first few numbers in the Fib sequence, Fib(n) is very nearly equal to (phi)n / sqrt(5) where phi is the Golden Ratio = [1+sqrt(5)]/2

[The difference is around 0.00003 by Fib(20)]

So you want the smallest n such that (phi)n / sqrt(5) ≥ 10999

Taking logs,

n*log(phi) - 0.5*log(5) ≥ 999

n*log(phi) ≥ 999 + 0.5*log(5) = 999.349

n ≥ 999.349/log(phi) = 999.349/0.2090

So n = 4781

From where did the Fibonacci sequence come from?

The Fibonacci sequence, was first known by the ancient people of India. When Fibonacci travelled there in the 1200's he learnt it from them and then passed on his learning to the rest of Europe through his book, Liber Abaci.
