Fibonacci numbers are a chain of numbers that were discovered by a man who had the nickname of Fibonacci and named the numbers after himself. These numbers appear all over the place in natural settings such as a rabbit population, to the numbers of petals on a flower, and even swivels on a pinecone. A piece of this sequence looks like, 3,5,8,13,21,34. That means that the current Fibonacci number is the total sum of the two preceding numbers.
Much like the pinecone, Fibonacci numbers also appear in fruits such as a pineapple with the number of ridges on the skin. For example in this pineapple, if you were to take a ridge in the middle and count across you would get 3. Up to down will give you 8 while diagonally would give you 5. This creates the sequence of 3,5,8, which are all consecutive Fibonacci numbers.
