The first number, f1 = 1 The second number, f2 = 1 After that the sequence is defined recursively: fn = fn-1 + fn-2 for n=3, 4, 5, ...

1, 1 are the first two numbers in the sequence; so, that's where you begin. In the Fibonacci sequence, you add numbers. Each sum is added to the previous largest number, to make the next number in the sequence. So, adding the first two numbers; 1 + 1 = 2. Then, as 2 was the resulting sum; and one was the last largest number, you add them. 1 + 2 = 3. And so on... The first ten numbers in the sequence are; 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55. It continues like this, indefinitely.
Fibonacci found a way to present mathematical numbers so that each number in the sequence is the sum of the two previous numbers. For example, if the sequence starts at 0 and 1, then next number in the sequence is 1, the next number would be 2, and then the next number would be 3, and then 5.
The sequence is 1,2,3,5,8,13,21.......8 is the missing number. This is known as a Fibonacci Sequence. The first two numbers are supplied and then further numbers in the sequence are formed from the sum of the two prior numbers. 3 = 1 + 2 5 = 2 + 3 8 = 3 + 5.....and so on.
