The Golden Ratio, represented by the Greek letter φ (phi), is approximately equal to 1.618034. It can be precisely defined as (1 + √5) ÷ 2. This fascinating mathematical concept has captured the imagination of mathematicians, artists, and architects for centuries.
The Golden Ratio emerges from the Fibonacci sequence, where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13...). As this sequence progresses, the ratio between consecutive numbers approaches the Golden Ratio.
In geometry, the Golden Ratio occurs when a line is divided so that the ratio of the whole line to its longer segment equals the ratio of the longer segment to the shorter segment.
