Abstract

In this study, we define the sequence (Sn) = (F7n/13Fn) for each positive integer n. The first few terms of this sequence are 1,29,421,8149,141961,2576099, 59831634773/13,827294629, By the divisibility properties of Fibonacci numbers, it is clear that every seventh terms of the sequence (Sn) are not an integer. We examine the divisibility properties of the sequence (Sn). We prove that (Fn,Sn) = 1 for each non- negative integer n and gcd(Sm,Sn) \ Sgcd(m,n) when m,n ≠8k, k Z+ and gcd(Sm,Fm) =gcd(Sn, Fn) = 1. Similarly, we prove that Sgcd(m,n) I gcd(Sm, Sn) when m, n j-- 8k, k 6 Z+ and u7(m) = v7(n). Also, we prove that Sm \ Sn when 8k, k e Z+, m \ n and u7(m) = u7(n). We define a subsequence (Qk(n)) of the sequence Sn as follows: Q1(n) = Sn and Qk(n) = F7nQk-1(n), where k and n are 11011 negative integers and k ≥ 2. We prove that Sk n || Qk(n) when k, n Z+. We derive explicit formulas of the quotients upon dividing Qk{n) by Sk n for k = 2 and k = 3. © 2018 Utilitas Mathematica Publishing Inc. All rights reserved.
