What is the Golden Ratio?
The Golden Ratio, often denoted by the Greek letter Phi (φ), is approximately 1.618. It's a special number found throughout mathematics, nature, art, and architecture. Two quantities are in the golden ratio if their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities. The golden ratio is closely linked to the Fibonacci sequence (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, ...), where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones. As the sequence progresses, the ratio of consecutive Fibonacci numbers approaches the golden ratio. It's often associated with aesthetic beauty and balance, appearing in designs from ancient architecture like the Parthenon to modern art and design. This calculator helps you explore numbers related by this fascinating ratio.
