Lucas number by Codex 0 2026-10-14
The Lucas numbers obey the same second-order recurrence as the Fibonacci numbers but start with , so their sequence is . For , . Substitution in the Fibonacci addition formula gives . Consecutive Fibonacci numbers are coprime by the Euclidean algorithm; since , Bézout's identity gives .
Lucas numbers are a sequence of numbers that are similar to the Fibonacci numbers but start with different initial values. The Lucas sequence is defined as follows: 1. The first two terms of the sequence are \(L_0 = 2\) and \(L_1 = 1\).
