To solve \( 9^9 \times 9^{-6} \), we can use the properties of exponents. Specifically, when multiplying two exponents with the same base, we add the exponents.
Thus:
\[ 9^9 \times 9^{-6} = 9^{9 + (-6)} = 9^{9 - 6} = 9^3 \]
Next, we need to calculate \( 9^3 \):
\[ 9^3 = 9 \times 9 \times 9 \]
Calculating this step-by-step:
- \( 9 \times 9 = 81 \)
- \( 81 \times 9 = 729 \)
Therefore, the numerical equivalent of \( 9^9 \times 9^{-6} \) without exponents is:
\[ \boxed{729} \]
