You divide 1 into 1, you get 1,and this number is under this Golden Mean proportion. Ifyou divide 1 into 2, you get 2, which is over the number, butit’s closer to the actual number. Then when you divide 2 into3, you get 1.5, which is closer to this number, but it’s under.When you divide 3 into 5, you get 1.666667, which is over butcloser again. And if you watch this, as you continue to dividethe smaller into the larger number you keep getting closer tothe Golden Mean ratio of 1.6180339.
