  • Session B

Let F0,F1,…F_0, F_1, \dots be the sequence of Fibonacci numbers, with F0=0F_0 = 0, F1=1F_1 = 1, and Fn=Fn−1+Fn−2F_n = F_{n-1} + F_{n-2} for n≥2n \geq 2. For m>2m > 2, let RmR_m be the remainder when the product ∏k=1Fm−1kk\prod_{k=1}^{F_m-1} k^k is divided by FmF_m. Prove that RmR_m is also a Fibonacci number.
