We are give Fibonacci numbers.{fi | i ā N}, where f0 = 0, f1 = 1, fn+2 = fn +fn+1, nā N. How to proof with mathematical induction that if n divides by m, then fn divides by fm? I am having trouble with thinking, what should be the transition.

First prove by induction on $m$ that
$F_{m+n}=F_{m+1}F_n+F_mF_{n+1}-F_m F_n$
Then put $m=kn$ and find that if $F_n|F_{kn}$ then $F_n|F_{(k+1)n}$.
