The Fibonacci numbers are defined by the equations F0=0,F1=1 and Fn+1=Fn+Fn−1 for any positive integer n. Show that the highest common factor (Fn+1,Fn) is 1.
Let n be a natural number. Prove by induction on k that for all positive integers k,
Fn+k=FkFn+1+Fk−1Fn.
Deduce that Fn divides Fnl for all positive integers l. Deduce also that if m≥n then
(Fm,Fn)=(Fm−n,Fn).
