Abstract: Periodicity of the last digit (or last two digits and so on) in a Fibonacci sequence has been discussed by Geller, use being made of a digital computer, and solved theoretically by Jarden. We may regard this as a periodic property of the right-most significant digit(s). There is a similar property for truncated Fibonacci sequences, the truncation being carried out prior to addition and on the right. Although this seems to be a somewhat artificial procedure it is the arithmetic involved on digital computers working in "floating point".
