Given a Fibonacci number N, the task is to find the previous Fibonacci number.
Examples:
Input: N = 8
Output: 5
5 is the previous fibonacci number before 8.
Input: N = 5
Output: 3
Approach: The ratio of two adjacent numbers in the Fibonacci series rapidly approaches ((1 + sqrt(5)) / 2). So if N is divided by ((1 + sqrt(5)) / 2) and then rounded, the resultant number will be the previous Fibonacci number.
Below is the implementation of the above approach:
// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
// Function to return the previous
// fibonacci number
int previousFibonacci(int n)
{
double a = n / ((1 + sqrt(5)) / 2.0);
return round(a);
}
// Driver code
int main()
{
int n = 8;
cout << (previousFibonacci(n));
}

// Java implementation of the approach
import java.io.*;
class GFG
{
// Function to return the previous
// fibonacci number
static int previousFibonacci(int n)
{
double a = n / ((1 + Math.sqrt(5)) / 2.0);
return (int)Math.round(a);
}
// Driver code
public static void main (String[] args)
{
int n = 8;
System.out.println(previousFibonacci(n));
}
}

# Python3 implementation of the approach
from math import *
# Function to return the previous
# fibonacci number
def previousFibonacci(n):
a = n/((1 + sqrt(5))/2.0)
return round(a)
# Driver code
n = 8
print(previousFibonacci(n))
// C# implementation of the approach
using System;
class GFG
{
// Function to return the previous
// fibonacci number
static int previousFibonacci(int n)
{
double a = n / ((1 + Math.Sqrt(5)) / 2.0);
return (int)Math.Round(a);
}
// Driver code
public static void Main()
{
int n = 8;
Console.Write(previousFibonacci(n));
}
}

// Javascript implementation of the approach

function previousFibonacci(n)
{
var a = n / ((1 + Math.sqrt(5)) / 2);
return Math.round(a);
}
// Driver code
var n = 8;
document.write(previousFibonacci(n));
