Comments

The sum of the first n Fibonacci numbers is sequence A000071.

When we divide the sum by the largest Fibonacci number that divides the sum, we always get a Lucas number.

For n > 3, a(n+4) = a(n)+2.

Example

The sum of the first ten Fibonacci numbers is 143. The largest Fibonacci that divides this sum is 13, the seventh Fibonacci number. After the division we get 143/13 = 11, the fifth Lucas number. Thus, a(10) = 5.
