16th Fibonacci number

Calculating the 16th Fibonacci number without a calculator or programming language can be quite tedious due to the large numbers involved. However, if you're up for the challenge, you can use a method called "iterative Fibonacci sequence generation" which involves systematically generating each Fibonacci number in sequence until you reach the desired index.

Here's how you can do it manually:

Step 1: Initialize Variables

Start with two variables initialized to the first two Fibonacci numbers: F0 = 0 and F1 = 1.

Step 2: Iterate to Generate Fibonacci Numbers

Continue generating Fibonacci numbers iteratively until you reach the desired index (16 in this case). The next Fibonacci number in the sequence is the sum of the previous two Fibonacci numbers.

F2 = F1 + F0 = 1 + 0 = 1

F3 = F2 + F1 = 1 + 1 = 2

F4 = F3 + F2 = 2 + 1 = 3

F5 = F4 + F3 = 3 + 2 = 5

F6 = F5 + F4 = 5 + 3 = 8

F7 = F6 + F5 = 8 + 5 = 13

F8 = F7 + F6 = 13 + 8 = 21

F9 = F8 + F7 = 21 + 13 = 34

F10 = F9 + F8 = 34 + 21 = 55

F11 = F10 + F9 = 55 + 34 = 89

F12 = F11 + F10 = 89 + 55 = 144

F13 = F12 + F11 = 144 + 89 = 233

F14 = F13 + F12 = 233 + 144 = 377

F15 = F14 + F13 = 377 + 233 = 610

F16 = F15 + F14 = 610 + 377 = 987

16th Fibonacci number is: 987.

Sum of the first 16 Fibonacci numbers

SUMM = F1 + F2 + F3 + F4 + F5 + F6 + F7 + F8 + F9 + F10 + F11 + F12 + F13 + F14 + F15 + F16 = 1 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 5 + 8 + 13 + 21 + 34 + 55 + 89 + 144 + 233 + 377 + 610 + 987 = 2583

Sum of the first 16 Fibonacci numbers: 2583.
