The Golden Ratio (or "Golden Section") is based on Fibonacci Numbers, where every number in the sequence
(after the second) is the sum of the previous 2 numbers:
If we keep going, we produce an interesting number which mathematicians call "phi" (Golden Ratio or Golden
Section):
Φ=1.6180339887…
This ratio was used by architects and artists throughout history to produce objects of great beauty (like
Michelangelo's "David" and the Greek temples.)

Eg: a+b/b =
2+3/3=1.66
= 8+13/13=1.61

Golden ratio and
mathematics
Two quantities are said to be in
golden ratio, if their ratio is equal
to the ratio of their sum to the
larger of the two quantities. The
golden ratio is approximately
equal to 1.618.
Example:
Divide the line into two sections. The two
sections are in golden ratio if the ratio of
the length of the larger section (say, “a”) to
the length of the smaller section, (say, “b”) is
equal to the ratio of their sum “a + b” to the
larger section “a”.
Derivatives
From the definition of golden ratio,we get
two equations.
i.e. a/b = ϕ …(1)
(a+b)/a = ϕ …(2)
Equation (2) can be written as:
(a/a) + (b/a) = ϕ
1+ (1/ϕ) = ϕ …(3) [From equation (1), we can
get b/a = 1/ϕ ]
Therefore, the golden ratio formula is given
by: ϕ = 1 + (1/ϕ)

Golden Ratio Formula
The golden ratio formula is used to calculate
the value of the golden ratio.
From the definition of golden ratio
we get two equations.
i.e. a/b = ϕ …(1)
(a+b)/a = ϕ …(2)
Equation (2) can be written as:
(a/a) + (b/a) = ϕ
1 + (1/ϕ) = ϕ …(3) [From equation (1), we can
get b/a = 1/ϕ ]
