Each number comes from multiplying the one before it by 1/3 .

The ones that are already printed there show this rule:
The first one is 9.
Then . . .

9 x 1/3 = 3

3 x 1/3 = 1

1 x 1/3 = 1/3

1/3 x 1/3 = 1/9

The next one is 1/9 x 1/3 = 1 / 27

The one after that is 1/27 x 1/3 = 1 / 81

And you ought to be able to do the last one on your own by now.
