To find the numerical equivalent of \( 9^9 \times 9^{-6} \), we can use the property of exponents that states \( a^m \times a^n = a^{m+n} \).
Applying this property:
\[ 9^9 \times 9^{-6} = 9^{9 + (-6)} = 9^{9 - 6} = 9^3 \]
Now, we need to calculate \( 9^3 \):
\[ 9^3 = 9 \times 9 \times 9 \]
Calculating step-by-step:
\[ 9 \times 9 = 81 \]
Now multiply by 9 again:
\[ 81 \times 9 = 729 \]
Therefore, the numerical equivalent of \( 9^9 \times 9^{-6} \) is \( \boxed{729} \).
