Problem #4 | |
The Fibonacci sequence is defined by the recurrence relation: | |
Fn = Fn1 + Fn2, where F1 = 1 and F2 = 1. | |
Hence the first 12 terms will be: | |
F1 = 1 | |
F2 = 1 | |
F3 = 2 | |
F4 = 3 | |
F5 = 5 | |
F6 = 8 | |
F7 = 13 | |
F8 = 21 | |
F9 = 34 | |
F10 = 55 | |
F11 = 89 | |
F12 = 144 | |
The 12th term, F12, is the first term to contain three digits. | |
What is the first term in the Fibonacci sequence to contain 1000 digits? |
