Abstract
Fibonacci numbers are a recursive sequence that were originally used to model the breeding of rabbits under ideal circumstances. Fibonacci numbers are also connected to other topics of number theory like: binomial coefficients and Pascal's triangle. We present solutions for two open problems from The Fibonacci Quarterly. Using known identities and knowledge of Fibonacci, we solved problems B-1301 and B-1305.
