Fibonacci numbers are numbers that the sum of the previous number and the number equals the next number.
In expressions: F = a , b , a + b , a + 2 b , 2 a + 3 b , 3 a + 5 b , ⋯ .
Not end yet.
Every greatest common factor of Fibonacci numbers are all 1 because Fibonacci numbers are 1 , 1 , 2 , 3 , 5 , 8 , 1 3 , 2 1 , 3 4 , 5 5 , 8 9 , 1 4 4 , 2 3 3 , ⋯ , and their greatest common multiple is all 1 .
Then the greatest common factor of consecutive Fibonacci numbers is all 1 , too.
So the answer is 1 .

gcd(F n , F (n-1)) = gcd( F (n-1) + F (n-2) , f (n-1)) = gcd(F (n-1) + F (n-2) -f (n-1), f (n-1)) = gcd(F (n-2) , f (n-1)) = .... = gcd(F 2 , F_1) = gcd(1,1) = 1 (ans) :D
