%N Numerator of floor(Phi*10^n)/10^n, where phi = (sqrt(5) + 1)/2 = A001622 is the Golden Ratio.

%C Numerator of the decimal fraction of phi = 1.61803... truncated to a given number of decimal places.

%C The corresponding sequence for 1/phi = 0.61803... = phi-1 (also called the Golden Ratio) has a very similar behavior, because for both, the truncated decimal expansion can be simplified by the same factors 2^k*5^m.

%e a(3) = 161 is the numerator of 1.61 = 161/100.

%e a(4) = 809 is the numerator of 1.618 = 1618/1000 = 809/500.
