Problem Statement
The Fibonacci sequence is defined by F_0\equal{}0, F_1\equal{}1 and F_{n\plus{}2}\equal{}F_n\plus{}F_{n\plus{}1} for . Prove that:
The statement "F_{n\plus{}k}\minus{}F_n is divisible by for all is true if k\equal{}60 but false for any positive integer .
The statement "F_{n\plus{}t}\minus{}F_n is divisible by for all is true if t\equal{}300 but false for any positive integer .
