What is the golden ratio?
In mathematics and the arts, two quantities are in the golden ratio if the ratio of the sum of the quantities to the larger quantity is equal to (=) the ratio of the larger quantity to the smaller one. The golden ratio is an irrational mathematical constant, approximately 1.6180339887.[1]
Other names frequently used for the golden ratio are the golden section (Latin: sectio aurea) and golden mean.
