Pisano period (plural Pisano periods)

  1. (number theory) The period (of repetition) of the sequence of Fibonacci numbers reduced modulo a given natural number (≥1); it can be considered to be a function π(n) where n is the modulus of reduction (see modular arithmetic) and the function returns the period (of the reduced Fibonacci sequence) corresponding to that given modulus.
