The three numbers given are 4.775, 4.777 and 4.776.

Let's analyse these numbers.

• If you look at the ones place of the three numbers, all the three numbers are having 4.
• If you look at the tenth place(after the decimal) of the three numbers, all the numbers are having 7.
• If you look at the hundredth place(after the decimal) of the three numbers, all the numbers are having 7.
