After dividing 1 by 999-quattuordecillion (a number that’s 48 integers long), you get the Fibonacci sequence presented in neat, 24-digit strings. Here’s why that happens.

The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones. It is closely related to the golden ratio, which appears in various natural and artistic contexts.

The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers in which each number is the sum of the two that precede it. Starting at 0 and 1, the first 10 numbers of the sequence look like this: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5 ...

The numbers 3, 5, 8, 13, and 21 are all Fibonacci numbers—members of a sequence in which successive numbers are sums of the preceding two numbers, starting with 1 and 1: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21 ...
