     What are these values?  Is one the result of applying a function
to the other?

     They might be hexadecimal be though 1.2 is unusual.  It is also
possible that the values for either column are not numeric.

     Why do decimal numbers vary so much in their length?  Sometimes,
more digits are required.

Sincerely,
