Using Fibonacci Numbers to Convert from Miles to Kilometers and Vice Versa

@Nathan, i was thinking the same thing. I would start with the list of all Fibonacci numbers less than x (your number to convert). say F(n) is the largest of these. Now add smaller numbers to F(n) starting with F(n-1). If your total ever goes above x, then remove the last number you added and decrement n. stop when your sum equals x. The numbers you've added are the factors.
