Comments

The corresponding values of k are 2, 3, 8, 10.

Intersection of A000045 and A028387.

Also Fibonacci numbers whose reciprocals equal to Sum_{i>=1} F(i)/k^(i+1), where F(i) is the i-th Fibonacci number.

de Weger proved that there are no other terms.

Example

89 is in the sequence since 89 = 10^2 - 10 - 1 or equivalently 1/89 = 1/10^2 + 1/10^3 + 2/10^4 + 3/10^5 + 5/10^6 + ... This is why the first digits of the decimal expansion of 1/89 = 0.011235... are the first terms of the Fibonacci sequence.
