>Using Fibonacci Numbers to Convert from Miles to Kilometers and Vice Versa

>For example, how many kilometers are there in 100 miles?

Number 100 can be expressed as a sum of Fibonacci numbers 89 + 8 + 3.

Now, the Fibonacci number following 89 is 144, the Fibonacci number following 8 is 13 and the Fibonacci number following 3 is 5.

Therefore the answer is 144 + 13 + 5 = 162 kilometers in 100 miles.

This is less than 1% off from the precise answer, which is 160.93 km.

And just think how much time you’d be wasting if you’d just multiplied 100 by 1.6.
