Given : 

a1 = 1 = a2, an = an–1 + an–2, n>2 

When n = 1 : 

a3 = a3–1 + a3–2 

⇒ a3 = a2 + a1 

⇒ a3 = 1 + 1 

⇒ a3 = 2 

When n = 2 : 

a4 = a4–1 + a4–2 

⇒ a4 = a3 + a2 

⇒ a4 = 2 + 1 

⇒ a4 = 3 

When n = 3 : 

a5 = a5–1 + a5–2 

⇒ a5 = a4 + a3 

⇒ a5 = 3 + 2 

⇒ a5 = 5 

When n = 4 : 

a6 = a6–1 + a6–2 

⇒ a6 = a5 + a4 

⇒ a6 = 5 + 3 

⇒ a6 = 8 

When n = 5 :
