Phi Proximity Poser (Posted on 2023-02-07) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Using each of the digits 1 to 9 exactly once, and the standard arithmetic operators, +,-, *, /, and, () as many times as required; come up with a value that is closest to φ.
This means, minimizing abs(V - φ), where V is the obtained value and, abs is the absolute function.

(I) Use only the individual digits. Concatenations like (98-34)/(1*2) - (56/7) are NOT allowed.

(II) Concatenations are allowed.

Note: φ is the golden ratio or the golden mean.
