Data Editor and List Conversions
v
v lets you enter data in up to 3 lists. Each list can contain up to 42 items. Press % # to go to the top of a list, and % $ to go to the bottom of a list.
List conversions accept f³´d, ´%, ´Simp, and n/d³´Un/d.
Numeric notation, decimal notation, and angle modes affect the display of an element (except fractional elements).

The pattern appears to show that the decimal representation is a repetition of the number in the numerator for ninths. Entering ,
,
and finally
validates that statement. Notice the last digit in the list is rounded, so 0.777777… is shown rounded to 0.77778.
