Two quantities are in the Golden Ratio if their ration is the same as their sum to the larger of the two quantities. The golden ratio is also called the golden mean, golden section or "divine proportion".

The golden ratio also appears in some patterns in nature, including the spiral arrangement of leaves and the bones in the human hand.
