Abstract: We prove that there are exactly 10 non-trivial distinct sequences of initial digits of base 10 Fibonacci numbers with a fixed number of digits. We show that the distribution of a related sequence is Benford and provide upper and lower bounds on the difference between the two sequences. We partially generalize to b-adic representations for any base b and to the generalized Fibonacci numbers.
