%F Conjecture: lim n->inf F(n)/a(n) = sqrt(5)/2 where F(n) is the n-th Fibonacci number and therefore lim n->inf a(n)/a(n-1) = Phi (i.e. (sqrt(5)+1)/2 or lim n->inf F(n)/F(n-1)) - _Gerald McGarvey_, Jul 14 2004

%e The eighth Fibonacci number is 21; division by 2, 3, 5, 8,13 gives the remainders 1, 0, 1, 5, 8, so a(8) = 1 + 0 + 1+ 5 + 8 = 15.
