The Zeckendorf representation expresses a nonnegative integer as a sum of nonconsecutive Fibonacci numbers, using the sequence that starts $1,2,3,5,\dots$. Every nonnegative integer has exactly one such representation; repeatedly taking the largest available Fibonacci number constructs it.

Every positive integer is a unique sum of nonconsecutive Fibonacci numbers, using the sequence $1,2,3,5,8,\dots$ with one copy of $1$. The greedy procedure selects the largest allowable Fibonacci number and repeats on the remainder.
