In addition to popularizing the Fibonacci sequence, Leonardo Fibonacci is credited with introducing the concept of Hindu-Arabic numerals to Europe through his work "Liber Abaci." This numeral system, which includes the digits 0-9 and the concept of place value, revolutionized mathematics by replacing the less efficient Roman numeral system. His contributions laid the groundwork for modern arithmetic and algebra.
Fibonacci is most famous for his description of the number sequence, which in the 19th century was given the name 'Fibonacci numbers' . The sequence is made by starting with two ones, and adding them up, then to make every new term, the previous two terms need to be added together.
The Fibonacci sequence(1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21…) is made by the two previous numbers being added together to make the next number. For example 1+1=2, 1+2=3, 2+3=5, 3+5=8 and so on forever…
A single number, such as 12631.5, does not make a sequence.
A single number, such as 2726101400, does not make a sequence.
