To find the numerical equivalent of \( 99 \cdot 9^{-6} \), we can first rewrite \( 9^{-6} \) as \( \frac{1}{9^6} \).

So, we have:

\[ 99 \cdot 9^{-6} = 99 \cdot \frac{1}{9^6} = \frac{99}{9^6} \]

Next, we need to calculate \( 9^6 \):

\[ 9^6 = (3^2)^6 = 3^{12} \]

Calculating \( 3^{12} \):

\[ 3^{12} = 531441 \]

Now substituting this back in, we get:

\[ 99 \cdot 9^{-6} = \frac{99}{531441} \]

Thus, the numerical equivalent of \( 99 \cdot 9^{-6} \) is:

\[ \frac{99}{531441} \]

If you want to express it as a decimal, you can compute:

\[ 99 \div 531441 \approx 0.000186 \]

However, the answer in fractional form is:

\[ \frac{99}{531441} \]
