For an \( n \times n \) matrix \( M \) with real eigenvalues, let \( \lambda(M) \) be the largest eigenvalue of \( M\). Prove that for any positive integer \( r \) and positive semidefinite matrices \( A, B \),
\[[\lambda(A^m B^m)]^{1/m} \leq [\lambda(A^{m+1} B^{m+1})]^{1/(m+1)}.\]

Prove that for any given positive integer \( n \), there exists a sequence of the following operations that transforms \( n \) to a single-digit number (in decimal representation).
1) multiply a given positive integer by any positive integer.
2) remove all zeros in the decimal representation of a given positive integer.

For each \( i \in \mathbb{N}\), let \(F_i\) be the \(i\)-th Fibonacci number where \(F_0=0, F_1=1\) and \(F_{i+1}=F_{i}+F_{i-1}\) for each \(i\geq 1\).
For \(n>m\), we divide \(F_n\) by \(F_m\) to obtain the remainder \(R\). Prove that either \(R\) or \(F_m-R\) is a Fibonacci number.
