problem

For n≥0n \ge 0, let FnF_n denote the nnth Fibonacci number (that is, F0=0,F1=1F_0 = 0, F_1 = 1, and Fn=Fn−1+Fn−2F_n = F_{n-1} + F_{n-2} for all n≥2n \ge 2). What is the greatest possible value of the greatest common divisor of two consecutive Fibonacci numbers?

For n≥0, let F_(n) denote the nth Fibonacci number (that is, F₀=0,F₁=1, and F_(n)=F_(n−1)+F_(n−2) for all n≥2). What is the greatest possible value of the greatest common divisor of two consecutive Fibonacci numbers?
Original LaTeX notation
For $n \ge 0$, let $F_n$ denote the $n$th Fibonacci number (that is, $F_0 = 0, F_1 = 1$, and $F_n = F_{n-1} + F_{n-2}$ for all $n \ge 2$). What is the greatest possible value of the greatest common divisor of two consecutive Fibonacci numbers?
