Important Ratios
In our last unit, we were introduced to the concept of Fibonacci. It is all about numbers & ratios. The purpose of this unit is to discuss the importance of ratios in the study of Fibonacci analysis.
Various percentages can be derived from the Fibonacci Series. It has been seen that a unique consistency is there when a number in the Fibonacci series is divided by its immediate succeeding number in the series.
21/34 = 0.618
34/55 = 0.618
55/89 = 0.618
89/144 = 0.618
144/233 =0.618
Another uniformity can be observed when any number in the Fibonacci series is divided by a number two places higher than the given number.
13/34 = 0.382
21/55 = 0.382
34/89 = 0.382
55/144 = 0.382
89/233 = 0.382
Similarly, when we divide the number by a 3 digit higher number in the series, the consistency is still maintained.
13/55 = 0.236
21/89 = 0.236
34/144 = 0.236
55/233 = 0.236
So if we express all the above numbers in percentage terms, the value comes as 23.6%, 38.2%, 61.8% and so on. So the most commonly used ratios include 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, and 78.6%.
