# Euler Problem 2: Even Fibonacci Numbers

## Euler Problem 2 Definition

Each new term in the Fibonacci sequence is generated by adding the previous two terms. By starting with 1 and 2, the first 10 terms will be:

$1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, \ldots$

By considering the terms in the Fibonacci sequence whose values do not exceed four million, find the sum of the even-valued terms.

## Solution

The code generates Fibonacci numbers until it reaches the value of four million. The code then sums the even numbers in the sequence.

```fib <- c(1, 2)  #Define first two numbers
while (max(fib) < 4e+06) {
# Generate Fibonacci numbers until limit is reached
len <- length(fib)
fib <- c(fib, fib[len - 1] + fib[len])
}
```

A range of packages exists that generate Fibonacci numbers. The gmp package for Multiple Precision Arithmetic and the numbers package supplies functions to calculate the nth Fibonacci number. This package is also able to work with very large numbers.

```library(gmp)
i <- 1
fib <- fibnum(1)
while (fibnum(i) <= 4e6) {
fib <- fibnum(i)
