Well, let's see . . .

0.777 has no whole-number part at all, so it's less than ' 1 '.

' 7 ' is a whole number, so it's at least ' 1 ', or maybe even more.

Can you see now that ("less than 1") can't be greater than ("at least 1 or maybe more") ?

No.

Is this what you really meant to ask?

All numbers of the form .abc (meaning 0.abc) with a,b,c digits are between 0 and 1, by definition of the decimal writing system. E.g.,

0.777 = 7/10 + 7/100 + 7/1000 < 10/10 + 10/100 + 10/1000 = 1110/1000 = 1.11 < 2 < 7
