N − 1 + y, where 0 ≤ y < 1. Thus, d(n) = N = 1 + log 10 F n − y = 1 + log 10 F n , where z denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to z. Using the approximation F n ≈ φ n √ 5 we get d(n) = 1 + log 10 (φ n √ 5) ≈ 1 + n log 10 φ − log 10 √ 5 ≈ 0.209n + 0.651. Notice that d(n + k) − d(n) ≈ 0.209n + 0.651 + 0.209k − 0.209n + 0.651. Notice that for k = 1, 2, 3 or 4, d(n + k) − d(n) = 0 or 1. But d(n + 5) − d(n) = 1 or 2. When d(n + 5) − d(n) = 1, we get a run of five Fibonnacci numbers with the same number of digits. However, when d(n + 5) − d(n) = 2, we get only four. Using a computer, we found that d(n + 5) − d(n) = 2 at n =
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
