What is the first two numbers of fibonacci sequence of 4880,7896,12276,20672

To determine the first two numbers in the Fibonacci sequence that generate the numbers 4880, 7896, 12276, and 20672, we'll use the property of the Fibonacci sequence where each term is the sum of the two preceding terms.

Let the first two numbers in the sequence be \( a_1 \) and \( a_2 \).

The sequence can be represented as:
\[
\begin{aligned}
a_3 & = a_1 + a_2 \\
a_4 & = a_2 + a_3 = a_2 + (a_1 + a_2) = a_1 + 2a_2 \\
a_5 & = a_3 + a_4 = (a_1 + a_2) + (a_1 + 2a_2) = 2a_1 + 3a_2 \\
a_6 & = a_4 + a_5 = (a_1 + 2a_2) + (2a_1 + 3a_2) = 3a_1 + 5a_2 \\
\end{aligned}
\]

Given:
\[
\begin{aligned}
a_3 & = 4880 \\
a_4 & = 7896 \\
a_5 & = 12276 \\
a_6 & = 20672 \\
\end{aligned}
\]

We have the following equations:
\[
\begin{aligned}
a_1 + a_2 & = 4880 \quad \text{(1)} \\
a_1 + 2a_2 & = 7896 \quad \text{(2)} \\
2a_1 + 3a_2 & = 12276 \quad \text{(3)} \\
3a_1 + 5a_2 & = 20672 \quad \text{(4)} \\
\end{aligned}
\]

We will solve these equations to find \( a_1 \) and \( a_2 \).

Subtract equation (1) from (2) to eliminate \( a_1 \):
\[
(a_1 + 2a_2) - (a_1 + a_2) = 7896 - 4880
\]
\[
a_2 = 3016
\]

Now substitute \( a_2 \) into equation (1):
\[
a_1 + 3016 = 4880
\]
\[
a_1 = 1864
\]

Thus, the first two numbers in the Fibonacci sequence that generate the given sequence are \( \boxed{1864} \) and \( \boxed{3016} \).
