Number Sequence Calculator

Arithmetic, Geometric, and Fibonacci Sequence Calculators

Overview

This online calculator tool helps you explore three types of number sequences: arithmetic, geometric, and Fibonacci. Each calculator allows you to quickly find the value of a specific term within a sequence and the sum of terms up to that position. This tool is great for students, educators, or anyone interested in sequences and patterns in math.

Types of Sequences

1. Arithmetic Sequence: A sequence where each term increases (or decreases) by a fixed amount.
2. Formula: ( a_n = a_1 + d \times (n - 1) )

3. Example: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11…

4. Geometric Sequence: A sequence where each term is multiplied by a common ratio to obtain the next.

5. Formula: ( a_n = a \times r^{(n-1)} )

6. Example: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32…

7. Fibonacci Sequence: A unique sequence where each term is the sum of the two preceding terms.

8. Formula: ( a_0 = 0; a_1 = 1; a_n = a_{n-1} + a_{n-2} )
9. Example: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8…

Each calculator helps you understand these sequences by letting you customize parameters and instantly see results.

How to Use the Calculator

Arithmetic Sequence Calculator

The Arithmetic Sequence Calculator finds the nth term and the sum of terms in an arithmetic sequence. Here’s how to use it:

• Step 1: Enter the first number of the sequence. This is the starting term.
• Step 2: Enter the common difference (f), the fixed amount added to each term.
• Step 3: Enter the position (n) of the term you want to find.

Once these values are entered, press Calculate to see: - The entire sequence up to the nth term. - The value of the nth term. - The sum of all terms up to the nth term.

For example, if the first term is 2, the common difference is 5, and you want the 20th term, you’ll get the 20th term value, the full sequence up to that term, and the total sum.

Geometric Sequence Calculator

The Geometric Sequence Calculator finds terms in a geometric sequence where each term is multiplied by a common ratio. To use this calculator:

• Step 1: Enter the first number of the sequence.
• Step 2: Enter the common ratio (r), the multiplier for each term.
• Step 3: Enter the position (n) of the term you want to find.

Click Calculate to view: - The sequence up to the nth term. - The value of the nth term. - The total sum of all terms up to the nth term.

For instance, starting with 2 and a common ratio of 5, you can quickly find the 12th term and see all terms up to that position, as well as their sum.

Fibonacci Sequence Calculator

The Fibonacci Sequence Calculator lets you explore this well-known sequence where each term is the sum of the two previous terms. Follow these steps:

• Step 1: Enter the position (n) of the Fibonacci term you’d like to find.

After pressing Calculate, the calculator will show: - The Fibonacci sequence up to the nth term. - The value of the nth Fibonacci term. - The sum of all terms up to that position.

For example, if you enter 10, you’ll get the 10th Fibonacci number, the sequence up to that term, and the total sum.
