Abstract:

The arithmetic mean of the first n Fibonacci numbers is not an integer for all n. However, for some values of n we can observe that it is an integer. In this paper we consider the sequence of integers n for that the average of the first n Fibonacci numbers is an integer. We prove some interesting properties and present two related conjectures.

Keywords:

Fibonacci number, Lucas number, Pisano period, rank of appearance, restricted period.
